Correct answer
- ANo, porque está prohibido.No, because it is prohibited.
According to Article 82 of the General Traffic Regulations, you overtake on the left. Overtaking on the right is only allowed if the other driver is signalling that they are turning left or stopping on that side, or in built-up areas with two lanes in each direction. The fact that the other car is in the left lane does not allow it.
