Overtaking on multi-lane roads is one of the topics in the Driving maneuvers block of the Spanish DGT theory. Overtaking, changes of direction, stopping, parking, lighting and warnings. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that on roads with at least two lanes designated for traffic in the same direction, a driver intending to perform another overtaking maneuver may remain in the lane used for the previous overtaking, provided they ensure that doing so does not unduly obstruct faster vehicles traveling behind.
Manoeuvres are tested with practical cases; remember the correct order: observe, signal and only then carry out the manoeuvre.
