When is it legal to overtake a vehicle on the right?

The scenario in which it is legal to overtake a vehicle on the right involves situations where a vehicle is making a left turn and there is sufficient space to safely maneuver. This action is permissible because it allows for the efficient flow of traffic and minimizes delays, especially when the left-turning vehicle is temporarily obstructing the right lane. It is essential that the driver has a clear view of the road ahead and that they can safely pass without crossing into any lanes designated for oncoming or opposing traffic.

In contrast, overtaking a stationary vehicle, while potentially safe, does not specifically address a situation where traffic flow is being managed, making it less applicable than the scenario involving a left turn. Similarly, a bus stop on the left side may involve additional complications, such as traffic and safety issues near the bus, making it a less clear-cut situation for safely overtaking. In residential areas, while certain conditions may allow for right-side overtaking, it is not universally applicable since residential streets can have varied obstacles and limited space that would restrict such maneuvers.
