What is the correct method for overtaking with a manual transmission?
1 Answers
The correct method for overtaking with a manual transmission is as follows: 1. Observe the situation ahead: Before overtaking, assess the speed of the vehicle in front. Confirm that the vehicle ahead is moving relatively slowly before considering overtaking. If you notice the vehicle ahead accelerating, refrain from overtaking to avoid potential accidents. 2. Use of lights: When overtaking, turn on the turn signal in advance to alert vehicles in front and behind that you intend to overtake. However, some drivers may neglect to use turn signals out of laziness. If the vehicle behind fails to notice and accelerates to pass, while the other vehicle is also changing lanes, it can easily lead to a rear-end collision. 3. Sound the horn: Before overtaking, honk the horn a few times to alert vehicles in front and behind, thereby reducing the risk of scratches through warning. Additionally, in noisy driving conditions, especially when there are many vehicles, you can use flashing high and low beams to alert others.
