Rules of the Road
Before overtaking a vehicle on a single carriageway, you should ensure that:
- ✓The road ahead is clear for a sufficient distance for you to complete the manoeuvre safely
- ○The vehicle behind you has slowed down
- ○It is daytime
- ○The vehicle in front is travelling at least 20 km/h below the speed limit
Correct answer
The road ahead is clear for a sufficient distance for you to complete the manoeuvre safely
You must only overtake when you have a clear, unobstructed view of the road ahead far enough to complete the manoeuvre and return to your lane safely.
