Explanation

According to Article 84.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, you must not overtake several vehicles unless you are completely sure that, if another vehicle appears from the opposite direction, you can move back to the right without harming or endangering any of the vehicles you have overtaken. It is not prohibited in all cases.
