How to Safely Overtake at Night?
1 Answers
To safely overtake while driving at night, it is necessary to increase the vehicle's speed and pass on the left side of the vehicle being overtaken. During the overtaking process, the turn signal should be activated, and it is important to maintain a following distance of no more than 20 meters. Additionally, flashing the headlights between high and low beams can be used to signal intention. Failure to use the turn signal when changing lanes may result in a penalty of three demerit points. Not using the turn signal during lane changes can create safety hazards for vehicles behind, as the lack of signal increases the risk of rear-end collisions. Continuous lane changes can be determined by observing the vehicle's turn signals, for example, a vehicle will typically activate the turn signal in advance before changing lanes. Drivers can adjust their speed based on the speed limits indicated by navigation for each road section. Vehicles should try to maintain an appropriate speed, as driving too slowly may lead to other vehicles following too closely, which also poses safety risks.
