Where should a vehicle that is going to be overtaken on the right be positioned on a one-way roadway?
Overtaking
Explanation
To understand why a vehicle that is going to be overtaken on the right on a one-way road must move to the **left**, it is important to consider the traffic and overtaking rules.
- On a **one-way road**, vehicles can travel in any lane, as there is no oncoming traffic. This allows overtaking on the right if conditions permit.
- When a vehicle is going to be overtaken on the right, it must facilitate the overtaking by moving to the **left**. This leaves enough space on the right side for the other vehicle to pass safely.
- In situations where there are **more than one lane in the same direction**, it is common for slower vehicles to stay on the right, allowing faster ones to overtake on the left. However, on a one-way road, overtaking on the right is possible, and the vehicle being overtaken must move to the left to facilitate it.
Therefore, on a one-way road, moving to the **left** is the correct action to allow safe overtaking on the right.
