Can large vehicles overtake by borrowing lanes on highways?
1 Answers
Large vehicles can overtake by borrowing lanes on highways. Standard overtaking procedures: Overtaking must only be performed from the left side. Before overtaking, the left turn signal should be activated in advance to observe the traffic conditions on the left and rear, checking whether overtaking conditions exist. After confirming safety, overtake the preceding vehicle. However, do not immediately steer right after overtaking. Only after maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, activate the right turn signal and return to the original lane. Safe overtaking distance: First confirm that the preceding vehicle yields or signals to yield, then steer slightly left while maintaining a certain lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle. After accelerating past from the left side, continue driving straight. When reaching a safe distance of 20 to 50 meters beyond the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right signal and return to the original lane. These overtaking techniques ensure safety.
