In order to overtake safely, the overtaking driver should:
- Correct answer: Start overtaking only when the road is clear in a sufficient distance, and verify while overtaking that the road is still clear.
- Overtake only when a sign permitting overtaking is placed.
- Overtake in a speed that exceeds speed limit, in order to clear the road way.
- Always overtake at a slow speed and with patience.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Start overtaking only when the road is clear in a sufficient distance, and verify while overtaking that the road is still clear.
Overtaking means spending time beside another vehicle, often in the opposite lane, so you should start only when the road ahead is clear far enough to finish, and keep checking that it stays clear throughout. The speed limit still applies while overtaking. Overtaking too slowly keeps you exposed longer. No special sign is needed to overtake where it isn't prohibited.
