Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: You create a safety distance between yourself and oncoming vehicle traffic.
Driving close to the right side of the road keeps the vehicle away from the oncoming traffic. This creates a safety distance that gives time and space to react if another vehicle veers toward you. This advantage exists when there is oncoming traffic, so it is not limited to one-way roads, and driving on the right is not meant to prevent overtaking.
