The red vehicle is going to turn left. May I drive on the hard shoulder to overtake it on the right?
Joining traffic
Explanation
Prohibited to use the hard shoulder to overtake someone turning left
- The **hard shoulder** is not part of the **roadway**: it is **prohibited** to drive on it with motor vehicles, except for very specific exceptions (emergencies or authorized vehicles).
- Even if the vehicle in front signals a **left turn**, you cannot **overtake on the right** using the hard shoulder.
- It would only be valid to pass on the right if done within the **roadway** (lane or drivable part) and safely; **never** invading the hard shoulder.
