Why this chapter
Overtaking is the manoeuvre where a misjudgement has the greatest consequences, and where the prohibitions are many and precise. This chapter covers when you may overtake, when you may not, how to do it safely – and how to behave when you are being overtaken yourself or meet someone on a narrow road.
