Which side should you overtake from when driving a motor vehicle?
1 Answers
Overtaking must be done from the left side. Below are relevant introductions about overtaking: 1. Basic actions of overtaking: The technique of overtaking can be summarized as: accelerate and merge into the adjacent lane, accelerate straight to pass the vehicle being overtaken until a safe distance is reached, then merge back into the original lane. The purpose of overtaking is to achieve quick passage. 2. Taboos of overtaking: It is best not to overtake in congested road conditions because the slow speed is not conducive to completing the merging and accelerating actions, and even if overtaking is completed, the purpose of quick passage will not be achieved. For two-way roads with two lanes, it is best not to overtake when going uphill, especially when approaching the top of the slope. Due to the obstruction of the slope top, oncoming traffic cannot be seen, creating a visual blind spot, so overtaking should not be attempted. Similarly, on such roads, if encountering a large curve that blocks the line of sight, do not overtake before entering the curve. Wait until after passing the curve when the view is clear, and at least the oncoming traffic can be seen before attempting to overtake.
