When is it legal to pass on the right on a multi-lane road?
Passing on the right is legal on a multi-lane road when the vehicle in front is making, or about to make, a left turn. This allows the overtaking vehicle to proceed without obstruction, as the left-turning vehicle does not impede the right-hand lane. Adhering to this rule ensures traffic flow is maintained efficiently while avoiding potential accidents due to incorrect lane changes or unexpected stopping of the turning vehicle.
