In Norwegian traffic rules (Vegtrafikkloven), when is overtaking on the right-hand side explicitly permitted under Norwegian traffic rules?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. When the vehicle ahead has clearly signaled and positioned itself to make a left turn
- Step 1: Under § 12 nr. 1 of Trafikkreglene, overtaking must take place on the left, but passing on the right is allowed if the car ahead is turning left. Answer: When the vehicle ahead has clearly signaled and positioned itself to make a left turn. Why not the others: the alternative options do not conform to statutory traffic regulations under the Norwegian Road Traffic Act (Vegtrafikkloven and Trafikkreglene).
