What are the precautions for drivers when overtaking?

[McEvelyn]

When overtaking with a motor vehicle, pay attention to the following points: 1. Slow down and honk: When overtaking a parked vehicle, slow down and honk the horn (in areas where honking is not prohibited), observe carefully, stay alert, maintain a larger lateral distance, and be prepared for emergency braking at any time to prevent the parked vehicle from suddenly starting and entering the traffic lane, causing a collision, or the driver suddenly opening the door and getting out. Especially when overtaking a bus parked at a station, extra attention should be paid to pedestrians suddenly crossing the road from behind the parked vehicle. 2. If obstacles are found on the left side of the road or the lateral distance is too small, making a squeeze or scrape possible: Avoid using emergency braking as much as possible to prevent side-slip collisions due to road camber. Instead, steady the steering wheel without turning it left or right, appropriately increase the distance in the shortest time, and then look for an opportunity to overtake. Never attempt to overtake forcibly under risky conditions.
