Can You Stop During Overtaking in Subject Three?

[PresleyLee]

During the overtaking section of the Subject Three driving test, you are allowed to stop and wait in case of an emergency, but this depends on the situation. Not all circumstances permit stopping midway. For instance, during the straight-line driving segment, stopping midway is not allowed. If you stop during this part of the test, it will result in a failure. Below are some key considerations for overtaking in Subject Three: Observing Traffic Conditions: Before overtaking, you must use your peripheral vision to check the left and right side mirrors as well as the rearview mirror to assess the traffic around the test vehicle. Pay attention to the movement of the vehicle being overtaken and whether there are bicycles, electric scooters, or other obstacles on either side of your car. Choosing the Right Moment to Overtake: The basic principle is not to disrupt the normal flow of other vehicles. Select an appropriate time to overtake. Maintaining a Safe Distance: When overtaking, manage the lateral distance carefully, ensuring you account for both sides. Accurately estimate the distance, maintain control of the steering, and adjust your speed to minimize lateral sway, ensuring a safe overtaking maneuver.
