Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the General Traffic Regulations, on all roads covered by the law, overtaking must be carried out on the left as a general rule. This rule applies to all kinds of vehicles, including twoor three-wheeled mopeds. There are only very specific exceptions where overtaking on the right is permitted, such as when the vehicle ahead clearly signals its intention to change direction to the left or to stop on that side, or when overtaking trams traveling in the middle of the road. Therefore, it is prohibited to choose the side according to the available space or to always overtake on the right.
