On which side of the roadway must overtaking be carried out as a general rule?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Spanish traffic regulations establish as a general rule that overtaking must always be carried out on the left of the vehicle that is to be passed. For lawful overtaking to take place, both vehicles must be in motion. The options suggesting overtaking on the right or on whichever side suits the driver best are wrong, since overtaking on the right is a very narrowly defined exception (for example, vehicles clearly signaling their intention to turn left or stop on that side, or trams running on a central track) and never a free choice of the driver.
