Correct answer

  • CNo.No.
Explanation

It is not considered overtaking when vehicles in acceleration or deceleration lanes move faster than those in the normal traffic lanes, or the other way round. The same applies when driving in lanes or parts of the road reserved for certain vehicles. When traffic is so heavy that vehicles fill the whole width of the carriageway and can only move at the speed of the vehicle in front, it is not considered overtaking either.
