Is it legal in your country to overtake on the left (if your country drives to the left)?
|
Two situations:
1. Overtaking by moving to the next left lane,
or
2. Overtaking in the same lane.
Additional Details
Here, in NSW:
1. On a motorway the sign says "Keep left unless overtaking" Where there are 3 lanes you are allowed to occupy the middle lane. You can use the left most lane to overtake. It is legal to overtake on the left provided no other law changes things.
2. There are some roads that are wide enough to support several lanes of traffic, although they are not marked. A car is able to, but is not allowed to, overtake a slower car, on the left, that is driving near the centre line. It is allowed if the car in front is about to turn right.

I live in Ireland and we drive on the left.
It is illegal to over take on the left. I am 100% sure of this because my brother failed his driving test because a car over took him using a bus lane. His examiner failed him because he should have been in the bus lane (he didn't go into it as he did not know if it was in force at that time of the day) and by not driving on it he encouraged another road user to pass him on the left hand side and thus break the law.
Here, if there is a road with more than one lane like a motorway, then you have to drive in the left hand lane if that is possible. The right hand lane is for overtaking.
I don't know how you could over take in the same lane. If the car in front is moving right and moves to the right hand and there is enough room to squeeze by then yes, you can pass them.
