How Many Times to Flash Lights for Overtaking at Night?
1 Answers
Flash the headlights twice when overtaking at night. Standard overtaking procedure: Overtaking should only be done from the left side. Before overtaking, activate the left turn signal in advance, observe the traffic conditions on the left and behind to determine if overtaking is feasible. After confirming safety, overtake the vehicle ahead. 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 vehicle ahead yields or signals to allow overtaking, then steer slightly left while maintaining a proper lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle. After accelerating past from the left side, continue driving straight. When you've achieved a safe distance of 20 to 50 meters ahead of the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right signal and return to the original lane. This overtaking technique ensures safety.
