Are you allowed in this situation to overtake the vehicle?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a straight, wide two-way street without road markings, behind a red car; in the left mirror nobody is overtaking you, and the left half of the roadway is clear - an oncoming car passed you a moment ago. You can overtake the vehicle in front of you. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that before overtaking, the driver makes sure that he has enough visibility and enough space, that the driver behind him has not started overtaking, and that the driver in front of him has not signalled a turn or a lane change. Here all these conditions are met, and on a straight road you can see far ahead. You switch on your left indicator, check the mirror once more and overtake decisively, with a safe side distance.
