Making way for a disbeliever to pass by car

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, if a disbeliever is driving and wants to overtake from the left lane, should I make way for him, even though traffic regulations require it?

The Shaykh:
On the side, what?

The questioner:
To make way for him on the left.

The Shaykh:
He has the right to pass; there is no doubt he has the right to pass on the road. However, he is not to be given the middle of the road; rather, he is to be given the side of the road. This is what is prescribed.
