‘Can I overtake on the right on the highway if others drive unnecessarily on the left?’

‘On the Eindhoven-Schiphol route, a large part of the highway consists of five lanes’, says reader Tuscar Leiseboer in the question & answer section of our car editors. ‘Often there are cars in the fourth or even fifth lane, while there is more than enough space in the first three. If I’m on the first lane and want to overtake a car, do I have to go all the way to the fifth (rightmost) lane if someone is on the fourth?’
