What are the precautions for overtaking?
1 Answers
The precautions for overtaking include: 1. Avoid forcing an overtake; do not force an overtake when the vehicle ahead does not yield speed or lane due to certain reasons. 2. Do not forcibly squeeze in when there is not enough safe distance ahead of the vehicle in front, and do not force the overtaken vehicle to yield by crowding it. 3. Maintain a smooth overtaking path during the maneuver. 4. Change to the left lane in advance before overtaking, and delay returning to the right lane after overtaking, keeping the driving trajectory basically parallel to the vehicle ahead. Methods to judge the distance when overtaking are: 1. When the lower edge of the rear wheel of the vehicle ahead aligns with the lower edge of the windshield, the distance is about 3 to 5 meters. 2. When the lower edge of the front bumper of the vehicle ahead aligns with the lower edge of the windshield, the distance is about 2 meters. 3. When the upper edge of the front bumper of the vehicle ahead aligns with the lower edge of the windshield, the distance is about 0.5 to 1 meter.
