Is a two-wheeler permitted to drive at the side of another two-wheeler?
- Absolutely not.
- Yes, always.
- Correct answer: No, except for the purpose of overtaking or bypassing another vehicle only.
- Yes, but only on an urban road.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: No, except for the purpose of overtaking or bypassing another vehicle only.
A two-wheeler rider may not ride alongside another two-wheeler, because riding side by side leaves both riders too little safety space and room to swerve. The only exception is the brief moment of overtaking or bypassing the other vehicle, after which you return to riding in single file. The ban applies on all roads, not only urban ones.
