This topic explains the main principles of overtaking, passing and interaction with oncoming traffic. The learner should distinguish these actions, assess when they are permitted and recognize dangerous or prohibited situations.
Overtaking usually involves leaving the occupied lane to pass a vehicle travelling ahead and then returning, while simply travelling faster in an adjacent lane is not always overtaking. Before overtaking, assess visibility, oncoming traffic, road markings, signs and whether you can complete the maneuver safely without forcing others to brake or change direction.
