Cevap

Pass the slower-moving traffic on the left with caution.
Under Highway Code Rule 163, drivers normally overtake on the right. However, an exception applies in slow-moving traffic queues where vehicles in your lane are travelling faster than those in the lane to your right. In this scenario, you are permitted to pass on the left provided you proceed with care and remain alert for vehicles switching lanes.
