What are the differences between lane changing and overtaking?
1 Answers
Lane changing refers to the practice of a vehicle changing from its original lane to another lane while both vehicles are traveling in the same direction. Overtaking refers to a vehicle moving to the side of another vehicle. Below are the relevant introductions: 1. Precautions for overtaking: Downshift and accelerate early when overtaking; observe carefully and make correct judgments; avoid overtaking when the vehicle in front is also overtaking; if unexpected situations are discovered, remain calm and quickly decelerate to stop the overtaking maneuver; avoid overtaking when there is an oncoming vehicle ahead. 2. Precautions for lane changing: When changing lanes, turn the steering wheel quickly but not excessively, following a smooth arc into the adjacent lane. Once the vehicle enters the adjacent lane, immediately straighten the steering wheel to ensure the vehicle is centered in the lane and continues straight; when a vehicle needs to change lanes, the driver must first observe the traffic conditions behind, to the side, and in the target lane using the interior and exterior rearview mirrors and windows.
