Zorluk: KolayOvertaking Rules

You are driving on a single carriageway and decide to overtake a slow-moving tractor ahead. What is the correct order of the steps you should take to carry out this manoeuvre safely according to the Highway Code?

  1. 1Check ahead for a clear view of the road, and check your mirrors and blind spots.
  2. 2Signal right in good time to indicate your intention to move out.
  3. 3Move smoothly into the oncoming lane and accelerate past the tractor, leaving plenty of room.
  4. 4Check your interior mirror to confirm the vehicle is safely behind before returning to the left lane.

Cevap

The correct sequence begins with checking the road ahead and checking mirrors and blind spots, signalling right in good time, moving out cleanly to pass with adequate clearance, and finally checking the interior mirror before returning smoothly to the left lane.
Safe overtaking follows the Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre routine. First, ensure the road ahead is clear and check mirrors and blind spots. Next, signal right in good time. Then, move out smoothly to pass while leaving plenty of room. Finally, check the interior mirror to confirm the vehicle is safely behind before returning to the left lane.
