In the same lane, who is allowed to pass one another?

Explanation:
The idea being tested is how passing works when two motorcycles or mopeds are in the same lane. In a single lane, there isn’t enough room for both riders to pass each other safely at the same time, so only one motorcycle or moped rider is allowed to overtake the other within that lane. The rider behind may complete the pass if there’s enough space and it’s done safely, but they don’t both pass each other in the same lane. If more room is needed to pass, it’s safer to change lanes and pass there. This keeps movements predictable and reduces the risk of a collision in a narrow lane.
