Is Overtaking on the Right Side Allowed?

[GabriellaMarie]

Overtaking on the right side is not allowed. According to relevant regulations: When overtaking, motor vehicles should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or honk the horn. On roads without a central dividing line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, when the leading vehicle receives an overtaking signal from the following vehicle, it should reduce speed and move to the right to give way if conditions permit. In traffic regulations, overtaking is defined as a complete driving behavior system where the vehicle first changes lanes from the original lane, then overtakes the leading vehicle, and finally merges back into the original lane. If the vehicle only changes lanes from the original lane and overtakes the leading vehicle without merging back into the original lane, it is not considered overtaking. Similarly, if the vehicle overtakes a leading vehicle in the adjacent lane and changes lanes in front of it, this also cannot be called overtaking. Therefore, overtaking on the right side has a clear definition: changing from the original lane to the right lane, overtaking the leading vehicle, and then merging back into the original lane.
