Outside built-up areas, a truck stays in the right lane of a roadway with two lanes in each direction. If nobody signals a turn or stop to the left, when may it move faster than the line of vehicles in the left lane?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When traffic occupies the full width of the roadway and each vehicle can only travel at the speed of the one ahead of it in its lane, Article 83(2) of the General Traffic Regulations does not consider it overtaking for one line of vehicles to move faster than another. The truck may continue in its right lane in that situation, without changing lanes to gain positions. The right lane being free does not by itself allow overtaking on that side outside built-up areas. Nor is it correct to prohibit any advance on the right even in congested traffic: that movement between lines of vehicles is not considered overtaking under the regulations.
