Why Should Overtaking Be Done from the Left Side?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for overtaking from the left side: 1. Traffic laws stipulate that vehicles should keep to the right. Overtaking from the right side can easily lead to collisions. 2. The driver's seat is on the left, providing a wider field of vision on the left side, making overtaking from the left safer. 3. Overtaking from the left aligns with human habits. Here is relevant information: 1. The main danger of overtaking from the right is the blind spot in left-hand drive vehicles. For left-hand drive cars, the blind spot on the driver's right side is larger, severely limiting visibility. Drivers can easily overlook vehicles in this position. If the overtaken vehicle fails to notice the illegal vehicle on the right in time and changes lanes to the right, it can easily collide with the vehicle overtaking from the right. 2. "Overtaking from the right" is explicitly prohibited by traffic regulations. In the event of a traffic accident, traffic police will investigate whether "overtaking from the right" occurred. If confirmed, corresponding penalties will be imposed.
