Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

If overtaking is prohibited on a section of road, you do not overtake, not even on the shoulder. Overtaking is done on the left except in certain cases (Article 82), and a motor vehicle with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) above 3,500 kg travels on the roadway and not on the shoulder, except for emergency reasons (Articles 30(1) and 31(1)). What is required is to stay behind, keeping the safety distance, until you reach a section where it is possible to overtake safely. Flashing the headlights or using the horn so that the driver ahead speeds up is not correct either: sound signals may only be used to avoid a possible accident, to warn outside built-up areas of the intention to overtake, and to warn of your presence (Article 110(2)), and their unjustified or excessive use is prohibited (Article 110(1)). Light warnings replace sound signals for that same purpose (Article 109(3)).
