Is it permissible to overtake a vehicle making a right turn?
1 Answers
It is generally not advisable to overtake a vehicle in a right-turn lane. On a single-lane road without dividing lines, overtaking during a right turn must be done from the left side, which poses a significant risk due to poor visibility of oncoming traffic and a higher likelihood of accidents. Legal provisions: 1. Article 47 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that when overtaking, the overtaking vehicle must first activate the left turn signal, switch between high and low beams, or sound the horn. On roads without a central dividing line or with only one lane in the same direction, the vehicle being overtaken should, when conditions permit, reduce speed and move to the right to yield. The overtaking vehicle must ensure a sufficient safety distance before passing from the left side of the vehicle ahead. After establishing a safe distance, the overtaking vehicle should activate the right turn signal and return to the original lane.
