Which Side is Safer for Overtaking When Driving?
1 Answers
You must overtake from the left side. Below are the relevant explanations: Reasons why you should not overtake from the right: The main danger of overtaking from the right is the blind spot of left-hand drive vehicles. For left-hand drive vehicles, the driver's right side has a larger blind spot and significantly limited visibility, making it easy for the driver to overlook vehicles in this position. If the vehicle being overtaken fails to notice the violating vehicle on the right in time and changes lanes to the right, it can easily collide with the vehicle that is "overtaking from the right." Overtaking: Overtaking refers to the process where the rear vehicle merges into the lane behind the front vehicle, passes it, and then merges back into the original lane. The lane typically used for overtaking is the inner lane, which is closer to the center of the road and farther from the shoulder.
