In this situation, can you overtake the tram on the left?

In the video you are driving behind a yellow tram along a two-way street in town; the tracks run along the middle of the roadway, there is a free lane to the right of the tram, and cars are coming from the opposite direction. Overtaking the tram on the left is prohibited here - a rail vehicle is overtaken on the right. The answer is: no.

The Road Traffic Act states that a rail vehicle may be overtaken only on the right, unless the position of the tracks makes this impossible or the overtaking takes place on a one-way roadway. Here the tracks are in the middle of a two-way roadway, and there is space on the right, so none of the exceptions applies; overtaking on the left would mean driving into the lane for the opposite direction, straight into the path of oncoming cars. So you move into the right lane and pass the tram on the right, remembering the pedestrians at the stops and that the tram may turn.
