What is the difference between changing lanes and overtaking?

[KayleeDella]

The differences between changing lanes and overtaking are as follows: 1. Different purposes: Changing lanes refers to the practice of two vehicles originally driving in the same lane switching to other lanes without affecting the normal driving of other vehicles; Overtaking means a vehicle moving from behind to pass another vehicle traveling in the same direction. 2. Different levels of danger: Overtaking is a relatively dangerous behavior that is unavoidable while driving, while changing lanes is comparatively less dangerous. 3. Different restrictions: Overtaking must involve changing lanes, but changing lanes does not necessarily mean overtaking. There are two types of overtaking: normal overtaking and abnormal overtaking. Abnormal overtaking refers to forcibly squeezing other normally driving vehicles under road conditions where overtaking is difficult, often putting other vehicles in a passive or dangerous situation. Such behavior constitutes dangerous driving and, once detected or resulting in a traffic accident, will definitely lead to legal penalties.
