How to Overtake on Mountain Roads?

[JohnnyLee]

When driving on mountain roads, overtaking should be avoided as much as possible. If overtaking is necessary, choose a gentle uphill section with a wide road surface, turn on the left turn signal, honk the horn in advance, and overtake only after confirming that the vehicle ahead has yielded.

When overtaking on mountain roads, you really need to be careful! Here's what I learned from my last trip on National Highway 318: First, check if the section allows overtaking—don't force it if there's a solid yellow line on sharp bends. The best spot is a long straight slope with clear visibility to see if there are oncoming vehicles. Never overtake on blind curves—that's practically playing with your life! Remember to signal left for at least two seconds and honk twice to alert the car ahead. When accelerating, make sure there are no vehicles behind you, then floor the throttle and overtake quickly—don't drag it out. After overtaking, check your rearview mirror to confirm you've fully passed, leaving at least 50 meters before merging back. Also, watch for falling rock warning signs on mountain roads—sometimes sudden rockfalls are the real danger. Oh, and avoid overtaking at night in the mountains—visibility is just too poor.
