On a motorway with traffic so dense that vehicles occupy the entire width of the roadway, is a car in the right lane allowed to move faster than one in the left?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is yes. According to General Traffic Regulations, when traffic density is such that vehicles occupy the entire width of the roadway and speed depends exclusively on the vehicle immediately ahead in the lane, the fact that one line moves faster than another is not considered overtaking. Therefore, moving faster on the right is allowed in this specific situation of congestion, although changing lanes solely for the purpose of overtaking is prohibited.
