What vehicles cannot be overtaken when driving in the same direction?

[Quentin]

The vehicle in front is making a left turn, turning around, or overtaking; there is a possibility of encountering oncoming traffic; the vehicle in front is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, etc. performing emergency tasks. Overtaking is not allowed in areas with excessive pedestrians: Commonly encountered pedestrian crossings, intersections, or sections of urban areas with high traffic flow. Overtaking is not allowed on narrow bridges, steep slopes, etc.: In addition to these common sections where overtaking is prohibited, there are also narrow bridges, steep slopes, railway crossings, curves, tunnels, and other less frequently encountered sections where overtaking is not allowed. Overtaking is prohibited as long as the conditions for overtaking are not met.

I've been driving for almost twenty years and always remind myself not to overtake recklessly when driving in the same direction. Especially, I must not overtake emergency vehicles with flashing lights and sirens, such as ambulances or police cars. Once on the highway, an ambulance was speeding ahead of me. I initially thought about overtaking it to save time, but I knew that would interfere with emergency care, be illegal, and dangerous, so I held back. My driving instructor once said that emergency vehicles have the right of way when on duty, and we must yield to them. Otherwise, fines and penalty points would be the least of our worries—costing lives would be too late to regret. Similarly, overtaking is prohibited on curves, hilltops, or under bridges where visibility is blocked. If a car suddenly appears from the opposite direction, the consequences could be disastrous. Safety comes first; an accident is not worth the risk. Keeping this in mind saves a lot of trouble.

As a novice driver just starting out, I learned my lesson the hard way. Once while driving in the same direction, I attempted to overtake a slow-moving vehicle on a curve, only to nearly collide head-on with an oncoming car. It scared me so much I broke out in a cold sweat. Later, I wised up: you must never overtake police cars or ambulances on duty – their sirens are a clear warning not to interfere. Overtaking is also prohibited on curves, in tunnels, or on steep slopes where limited visibility poses too great a risk. My instructor emphasized that attempting to pass in these areas can easily lead to accidents, ranging from minor scrapes to serious pile-ups. Now, every time I drive, I make sure to check road signs and assess the environment before making any moves, so I don’t make the same foolish mistakes again.

There are rules for overtaking vehicles traveling in the same direction while driving. Vehicles that cannot be overtaken include sirened police cars and ambulances, as their emergency maneuvers may involve sudden turns. Overtaking is also prohibited in blind spots such as curves and hilltops, where poor visibility increases the risk of colliding with oncoming vehicles or obstacles. These no-overtaking zones in traffic regulations are designed to ensure the safety of all vehicles and reduce accidents. I will pay attention to avoiding these situations and maintain smooth driving. Accelerate only in safe zones, preventing problems before they occur.

In my daily urban commute dealing with traffic jams, I pay special attention not to overtake the wrong vehicles when driving in the same direction. It is absolutely forbidden to overtake emergency vehicles on duty, such as police cars with sirens on, as cutting them off would hinder rescue efforts and is illegal. Also, avoid overtaking near intersections, pedestrian crossings, or curves where dense traffic can easily lead to accidents. Last week, I saw a car trying to overtake a bus on a curve and ended up causing a scrape that triggered a traffic jam, delaying everyone by half an hour. So, I only attempt overtaking on straight, wide roads—safety first. Remember the rules to save time and hassle.

The key to safe driving is cautious overtaking. When driving in the same direction, vehicles that should not be overtaken include emergency vehicles with sirens such as ambulances, as overtaking may disrupt their operations; overtaking is also prohibited in areas with poor visibility such as curves, hilltops, or underpasses due to the high risk of oncoming traffic; and overtaking must be avoided when there are no-overtaking signs or pedestrians crossing. I assess the road conditions, slow down in advance, and only accelerate when safety is ensured. This practice protects both people and vehicles, keeping accidents at bay.
