Italian Vice Premier Matteo Salvini has proposed parallel lane circulation on three-lane highways, effectively legalizing right-side overtaking. Current Article 148 bans it, but columnist Nico Cereghini argues it's unclear who would judge safe speed differentials or lane-dwell times, and warns Italy's aggressive, truck-heavy highways are nothing like the U.S. expressways the idea is modeled on. He argues for strict enforcement of the existing right-lane rule (Article 143) instead.

Right-side overtaking possibly becoming okay honestly surprised me. Beginners already struggle with which lane should I be in, so being told to also judge safe speed gaps and how long you can sit in a lane sounds really hard. I feel like strictly enforcing the right-lane rule we already have would be way clearer than adding a new one.

Enforcing this without a clear speed-differential standard is high-risk.

The current right-lane rule barely gets followed as it is — adding a new one is backwards.

Right-side overtaking just sounds dangerous — I'm against it.

Copy-pasting the American idea straight over doesn't really work here.

What does the current Article 148 actually say?
