In Portuguese traffic law, in which circumstance is overtaking on the right side legally permitted?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. When the vehicle ahead has signaled and positioned itself to turn left
- Step 1: Exceptions to overtaking on the left. Step 2. Under Article 37, overtaking on the right is permitted when the driver ahead clearly indicates an intention to change direction to the left and has moved to the center or left of the carriageway. Answer: When the vehicle ahead has signaled and positioned itself to turn left. Why not the others: Slow driving does not authorize right-side overtaking; lane count does not waive the rule.
