Zorluk: ZorOvertaking Rules

You are driving on a straight rural single-carriageway road and intend to overtake a slow-moving road maintenance vehicle. Arrange the following actions in the correct sequential order from first to last to complete the manoeuvre safely according to the Highway Code.

  1. 1Hold back at a safe distance to ensure an unobstructed view of the road ahead and oncoming traffic.
  2. 2Check all relevant mirrors and your right blind spot to ensure no following vehicle has started overtaking you.
  3. 3Signal right in good time and steer smoothly out into the oncoming lane.
  4. 4Accelerate past the vehicle promptly while maintaining a safe clearance margin.
  5. 5Check your interior mirror until the front of the overtaken vehicle is fully visible, then move smoothly back to the left lane.

Cevap

The correct sequence is: hold back to maximise forward vision, check mirrors and the right blind spot, signal right and move out into the overtaking lane, accelerate past with safe clearance, and check the interior mirror before returning smoothly to the left lane.
Safe overtaking follows the Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine. First, a driver must drop back to establish a wide field of vision along the road ahead. Next, observation of mirrors and the offside blind spot ensures no vehicle behind is already overtaking. Once clear, the driver signals right and moves out smoothly, accelerates past with appropriate lateral clearance, and finally verifies in the interior rear-view mirror that the entire vehicle has been cleared before returning to the left-hand lane.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Drop back from the slow-moving vehicle to open up your view ahead.
You obtain a clear view of oncoming traffic, road geometry, and road markings.
Tailgating restricts your forward view and prevents safe assessment of the road ahead.
2
Check interior and right door mirrors, followed by a quick check of the right blind spot.
You verify that no vehicle behind has already committed to overtaking you.
The Highway Code requires drivers to ensure they are not being overtaken before moving out.
3
Apply the right-turn indicator and transition out into the overtaking lane.
Other road users are clearly informed of your intention as you begin the manoeuvre.
Signalling must follow observation and precede the lateral lane movement.
4
Accelerate cleanly past the vehicle while providing ample lateral clearance.
You minimise time spent in the opposing traffic lane while maintaining a safe safety buffer.
Lingering alongside another vehicle increases collision risk if hazards arise.
5
Check the interior mirror until the overtaken vehicle's front is in view, then steer smoothly back left.
You re-enter the left lane without cutting off or braking in front of the overtaken driver.
The interior mirror provides accurate distance assessment to confirm sufficient space before rejoining the lane.
