If you freely interpret the article in the rules of the road, then overtaking is such a road situation in which, in order to overtake the car in front, you need to change to the lane in the opposite direction of traffic.
And when we do not go into the oncoming lane, then this is not overtaking, but being ahead. So, we will overtake according to the rules and tell you how to do it:
- It is categorically impossible to start overtaking the car in front immediately behind the car that has already begun to overtake it.
- You cannot start overtaking if you yourself are already being overtaken.
- Before overtaking, you need to make sure that the path is clear both in front and behind, only after that you need to turn on the turn signal and start the maneuver.
- The completion of the overtaking process must be checked with the help of a side mirror and a rear-view mirror, only after that you can turn on the direction indicator and rebuild into your lane. In this case, it is necessary to control the distance to the car, which has just been overtaken, so as not to cut it.
- If you have to overtake a long car or truck, you need to be especially careful, while remembering that each long car has some kind of skid when entering and exiting a turn.
- If you are overtaken, you must continue driving at the same pace.
- To facilitate overtaking, keep as much to the right as possible.
To make the overtaking maneuver faster, you need to take acceleration in advance.
