Is Overtaking Allowed on Curves?

[OEloise]

Overtaking is not allowed on curves. The reasons are as follows: 1. Danger: When overtaking on a curve, first, the speed must be high, and second, a lane change is required. High speed may make it difficult to navigate the turn, and changing lanes increases the risk of a head-on collision with oncoming vehicles because the view is completely blocked by the vehicle in front during the overtaking process. Both of these factors pose serious risks to life and property safety. 2. Violation: Article 43 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that when motor vehicles are driving in the same lane, the following vehicle should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front to allow for emergency braking. Overtaking is prohibited under the following circumstances: (4) When passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or sections of urban roads with heavy traffic where overtaking conditions are not met.
