Question 3913
A vehicle is traveling in the left lane; is it permitted to pass it on the right?

- Yes, when the lanes are marked and the road is within a built-up area.
- No, passing must always be done on the left.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when the lanes are marked and the road is within a built-up area.
Yes, within built-up areas. On a roadway with at least two lanes in your direction, separated by road markings, like the avenue in the image, you may pass a vehicle in the left lane on the right if you first check that you will not endanger anyone. Outside built-up areas, having several lanes is not enough to allow passing on the right.
