Is Overtaking Only Allowed from the Left Side?

[MacHadley]

Overtaking must be done from the left side; otherwise, it constitutes a traffic violation and may result in penalties. Below are relevant details about overtaking: Definition of Overtaking: Overtaking refers to the process where a following vehicle changes lanes to the rear side of the vehicle ahead, passes it, and then returns to the original lane. The lane typically used for overtaking is the inner lane, which is closer to the center of the road and farther from the shoulder. Dangers of Improper Overtaking: The right side is a blind spot for left-hand drive vehicles, with severely limited visibility. The vehicle being overtaken may not notice an illegally overtaking vehicle on the right side, increasing the risk of collision when changing lanes to the right.
