If a vehicle driver cannot move fully to the right edge of the roadway, how should they indicate to the driver behind that it is safe to overtake?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

General Traffic Regulations stipulate that when the driver of the vehicle being overtaken cannot stick closely to the right edge of the road (common with heavy vehicles or on narrow roads), they must indicate that it is safe to overtake. This is done by extending the left arm and moving it from back to front (with the back of the hand facing backward) or by activating the right indicator. The right indicator signals that the driver is staying to the right and the lane is clear. The left indicator should never be used for this purpose, as it would indicate that the vehicle itself is about to move to that side.
