If the vehicle driving ahead clearly indicates its intention to turn left, is it permitted to overtake it on the right?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule mandates overtaking on the left. However, General Traffic Regulations establish important exceptions. One of these allows overtaking on the right when the driver of the vehicle you intend to overtake is clearly indicating their intention to change direction to the left or stop on that side. To do this legally, two conditions must be met: there must be sufficient space to do so, and the maneuver must be carried out with complete safety.
