On a two-way road, when a vehicle is going to turn left, it must make it easier for other vehicles to overtake it on the right, as long as it does not obstruct oncoming traffic. This rule is based on Article 82 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), which states that overtaking must be done on the left, but allows overtaking on the right if the vehicle being overtaken is signalling its intention to turn left. In addition, the vehicle making the manoeuvre must move as far to the left as possible without obstructing oncoming vehicles.
