Correct answer

Start only when overtaking is permitted and you have enough visibility, space and margin to complete it safely. Before moving out, check that the lane you will use is clear and that you can return without endangering others. The overtaken vehicle’s smaller size guarantees nothing; obey signs and speed limits.
