Near Kortgene you approach a roundabout on a road with two lanes. There is no no-overtaking sign, no traffic jam, and the car in the left lane is not signalling. Right before the roundabout you want to pass it in the right lane. Is that allowed?
- No, overtaking on the right is only allowed in a jam or slow traffic
- ✓ Yes, right before and on a roundabout you may overtake on the right
- Only if the car to your left is also signalling to the left
Correct answer: Yes, right before and on a roundabout you may overtake on the right
Explanation
False — here too you take one exception for the whole rule. A car that has moved left and signals left is one of the five cases; right before and on a roundabout you may overtake on the right without that as well
