Is Right-Side Overtaking Allowed by Traffic Rules?

[DeMichael]

Traffic rules do not permit right-side overtaking. Overtaking should always be performed on the left side. While driving, a slight deviation from the lane allows the driver to observe the vehicles and road conditions ahead, making left-side overtaking safer. Right-side overtaking requires the driver to offset from the vehicle in front to observe the road and traffic ahead, increasing the risk of accidents. Overtaking precautions: 1. Before overtaking, check the rearview mirror to observe vehicles behind and road conditions. 2. After confirming the surroundings are suitable for overtaking, turn on the left turn signal and honk the horn (at night, use alternating high beams instead of honking). 3. Once the vehicle ahead signals to yield, steer slightly to the left, maintaining a safe lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle. 4. Shift down a gear, accelerate by pressing the throttle, and overtake from the left side, minimizing the time spent side by side. 5. After overtaking, maintain speed for a while, check the rearview mirror for approaching vehicles, and once safe, turn on the right signal and return to the original lane.
