We are driving in the right lane of a highway outside a built-up area and intend to overtake the vehicle in the left lane without changing lanes. Is this allowed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, on roads located outside built-up areas, overtaking must always be done on the left of the vehicle to be passed. Overtaking on the right on a highway is prohibited and constitutes a serious offense that puts road safety at risk. There are only very specific exceptions for overtaking on the right, such as when the preceding vehicle clearly indicates its intention to turn left or stop on that side.
