Question 319 of 802

How is overtaking defined?

A the passing of one vehicle alongside another, when they travel in the same direction but on an adjacent lane;
B the maneuver by which a vehicle passes ahead of another vehicle or alongside an obstacle, located on the same direction of travel, by changing the direction of travel and leaving the traffic lane or the line of vehicles in which it was initially;
C the passing of one vehicle at the level of another.

Explanation

Overtaking is the maneuver by which a vehicle passes ahead of another vehicle or alongside an obstacle, located on the same direction of travel, by changing the direction of travel and leaving the traffic lane or the line of vehicles in which it was initially. [OUG* Art. 45 paragraph (1)]

TO REMEMBER:

  1. Whether we want to pass ahead of another vehicle located on the same direction, or whether we want to bypass an obstacle on the carriageway located on the same direction, it is still called overtaking;
  2. Whether we cross over the marking that separates the directions of travel and enter the opposite direction, or whether we do not cross over the marking that separates the directions of travel and remain in the same direction, it is still called overtaking.

The correct answer is: B
