Zorluk: OrtaOvertaking Rules

Under the Highway Code, you are permitted to overtake on the left if the vehicle ahead has signalled to turn right and there is room to pass safely.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True. Drivers are permitted to overtake on the left when the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right and there is sufficient space to pass safely.
According to Highway Code Rule 163, drivers should generally overtake on the right. However, overtaking on the left is permitted when the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right and has positioned itself towards the centre of the carriageway, provided there is sufficient road space to pass safely.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the standard UK overtaking direction and its legal exceptions.
Highway Code Rule 163 establishes that vehicles should generally overtake on the right, but specifies clear exceptions including vehicles turning right and slow-moving queued traffic.
Understanding legal exceptions ensures drivers do not cause unnecessary traffic disruption while remaining fully compliant with road law.
2
Evaluate the conditions required to execute this manoeuvre lawfully.
The driver may pass on the left only if the vehicle ahead has clearly indicated an intention to turn right and there is sufficient clearance to pass without mounting the pavement or entering restricted lanes.
Overtaking on the left must never compromise safety or violate lane restrictions such as bus lanes or cycle tracks.
