Generally, undertaking on the right is prohibited on German Autobahns. However, in slow-moving traffic queues where the left lane is either standing still or moving at no more than 60 km/h, you may overtake on the right at a slightly higher speed (max 20 km/h difference, not exceeding 80 km/h).
The 'Rechtsfahrgebot' is the obligation to drive in the rightmost lane possible unless you are actively overtaking or traffic conditions require otherwise. You must return to the right lane promptly after completing an overtaking manoeuvre.
While not explicitly permitted by the StVO as a signal of intent to overtake, short flashes of headlights (Lichthupe) are generally tolerated outside urban areas to announce an overtaking manoeuvre, provided they do not blind oncoming drivers.
Overtaking at high speeds, especially with a significant speed differential to the vehicle being overtaken, drastically reduces the time available for reaction and judgment. Misjudging closing speeds can lead to dangerous situations and accidents.
Yes, even if you intend to overtake another vehicle shortly after the first, German traffic law (specifically § 5 Absatz 4 Satz 5 StVO) requires you to return to the rightmost available lane promptly, unless the traffic density makes it impractical. This maintains the flow and safety for faster vehicles approaching from behind.
No, you are strictly prohibited from exceeding the posted speed limit to complete an overtaking manoeuvre. You must adjust your your speed to remain within legal limits at all times, as confirmed by German traffic regulations.
By completing Autobahn Overtaking, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Germany. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
