Explanation

For answer  A 

Overtaking is performed as a rule on the left side of the overtaken vehicle. There are also exceptions to this rule, exceptions in which overtaking can also be done on the right side, but we cannot say, as answer A states, that overtaking in intersections is permitted only on the right side. Therefore, answer A cannot be correct.


For answer  B 

The road legislation prohibits the overtaking maneuver in uncontrolled intersections, in the other types of intersections, more exactly in the controlled ones, the overtaking maneuver being permitted. Therefore, overtaking is permitted in intersections controlled by signals of the traffic police officer, these being intersections with controlled traffic.


For answer  C 

Overtaking is performed only on the left side of the overtaken vehicle. The tram or the vehicle whose driver signaled the intention and moved into position accordingly to leave the direction of travel to the left is overtaken on the right side.

But considering that the road legislation prohibits the overtaking maneuver in UNcontrolled intersections, even if an exception is made to the rule of overtaking on the left side, answer C cannot be correct because it states that overtaking is performed in an UNcontrolled intersection.


The correct answer is: B
