You want to overtake the vehicle ahead on an expressway. What is the correct method?
💡 Hint
When overtaking on an expressway you must signal and travel safely in the designated lane, and the lane for overtaking is determined relative to the lane designated by the traffic standards (Article 60(2) of the Road Traffic Act and Annex 9 of its Enforcement Rule). Also recall that driving on the shoulder is prohibited (Article 60(1)).
Answer: ②
Explanation
Article 60(2) requires overtaking on an expressway to be done safely in the designated lane while using the turn indicator, lights or horn, and the notes to Enforcement Rule Annex 9 allow overtaking in the lane immediately to the left of your designated lane. Driving on the shoulder is banned by Article 60(1), and tailgating while honking is intimidating driving.
