Under what circumstances is overtaking multiple vehicles at once prohibited?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, overtaking multiple vehicles in a single maneuver is allowed, but with a critical safety restriction. It is prohibited if, due to traffic density or lack of space between the vehicles being overtaken, the driver cannot return to the right lane (merge back) safely should an oncoming vehicle appear. It is essential to have 'escape gaps' to avoid a head-on collision if the maneuver becomes dangerous.
