1 Answers
When overtaking on the highway, turn on the left turn signal. Overtaking should be performed from the left side of the vehicle in front. After overtaking and maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane. According to Article 47 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, when overtaking, motor vehicles should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or sound the horn. Below are relevant introductions about overtaking: 1. The vehicle in front: On roads without a central line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, when the vehicle in front receives an overtaking signal from the vehicle behind, it should reduce speed and give way to the right if conditions permit. 2. The vehicle behind: After confirming there is sufficient safe distance, overtake from the left side of the vehicle in front. After maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane.
