Overtaking on Spanish roads — exam-focused guide
Disclaimer: Unofficial study help. Confirm rules on dgt.es and boe.es.
Core idea
Overtaking is only legal when visibility, markings and signs allow it, and when you can return safely without forcing others.
Outdated myths (for example inventing a fixed +20 km/h allowance) are classic exam traps — verify current rules officially.
Where students fail
Continuous lines, bends, crests, zebra crossings and tunnels create many ‘cannot overtake’ answers.
Practise free priority and markings topics together — they combine in real questions.
