How many points are deducted for overtaking in a tunnel?
1 Answers
Overtaking in a tunnel results in a deduction of 3 points. The following are the regulations regarding overtaking: Motor vehicles traveling in the same lane should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front to allow for emergency braking. Overtaking is prohibited under the following circumstances: when the vehicle in front is turning left, making a U-turn, or overtaking; when there is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle; or when the vehicle in front is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing urgent tasks. Turn signals should be activated: When overtaking, the left turn signal should be activated in advance, and the driver should switch between high and low beams or sound the horn. On roads without a central line or with only one lane in the same direction, when the vehicle in front receives an overtaking signal from the vehicle behind, it should reduce speed and move to the right to give way if conditions permit. The overtaking vehicle should ensure there is sufficient safe distance before passing on the left side of the vehicle in front. After maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, the right turn signal should be activated to return to the original lane.
