When is it permitted to pass more than one vehicle during one overtaking maneuver?
- It is permitted in a straight and level roadway only, and prohibited in any other type of road.
- Never: You are lawfully obliged to overtake only one vehicle during an overtaking maneuver, and to return to the right lane.
- Correct answer: When overtaking is not restricted, and there is enough space in the overtaking lane for safe completion of the overtaking maneuver.
- It is permitted when you overtake small vehicles only, and prohibited when you overtake big vehicles.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: When overtaking is not restricted, and there is enough space in the overtaking lane for safe completion of the overtaking maneuver.
The law does not limit how many vehicles you may pass in one overtaking maneuver. What matters is that overtaking is not restricted there and that the overtaking lane has enough clear space to finish safely and return to your lane. Passing several vehicles takes longer, so you need a much longer clear distance. The size of the vehicles or road shape alone is not the rule.
