When is it permitted to overtake another vehicle on its rights side?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Rules and Regulations
- When there are few lanes in your direction of driving .
- When the right lane is clear and you are in a hurry, and the overtaken vehicle is driving slowly.
- When you can complete the overtaking maneuver quickly..
- When the other vehicle is driving in a left-turn lane and giving a left signal.
Why this matters beyond the test: When overtaking is prohibited and what counts as a safe passing distance -- the rules behind one of the highest-risk maneuvers a driver makes on any two-way road.
