Overtaking

Rule: Overtake only from the right, unless the vehicle in front has signalled an intention to turn right.

Traffic Logic: We drive on the left, and the driver sits on the right. Slow traffic is in the left lane, and fast traffic in the right lane. To overtake, we have to change lanes. Moving to the right, we can see what is in front by moving a little into the other lane. Moving left, we can only see it when most of the vehicle is in the left lane--CRASH. The obstruction caused to other traffic and chances of collision are much less when moving right. Also, there is less speed difference with the slow vehicles on the left.

Overtaking a vehicle that is turning right, from its right, will put the overtaking vehicle in the path of the turning vehicle--CRASH.
