Why learners get this wrong
- Overtaking on the right is allowed in more cases: just before and on a roundabout, right of block marking, in a queue and past a driver positioned to turn left
- The icon is unambiguously a RED border on a WHITE background, with a black car overtaking a red car. Red border = prohibition sign, like the rest of the F-series (F1-F4)
- There are FIVE exceptions: right before/at roundabouts, driving to the right of a block marking, overtaking a traffic jam, a driver who has signalled left and pre-sorted left, and overtaking a tram. The traffic jam is only one of them
