On a two-way road with one lane in each direction, is it permitted to overtake several vehicles simultaneously?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, regulations allow overtaking multiple vehicles at once, but they impose a strict safety condition: you must be able to return to the right lane safely if necessary. This means there must be sufficient space between the vehicles you intend to overtake so that you can merge back in if an oncoming vehicle appears. If the vehicles are driving too close together and there is no safety gap to abort the maneuver, multiple overtaking is prohibited.
