In this situation, can you overtake the cyclist from the right?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

According to the regulations, a bicycle lane is part of the carriageway, which means that in the situation shown, the road has at least two lanes of traffic in the same direction. In such a case, a driver travelling in the left lane may overtake a vehicle moving in the right lane (in this case, the cyclist on the bicycle lane), remembering to maintain a safe distance.
