BDifficulty 1/5

Is overtaking considered a dangerous and complex manoeuvre?

Correct answer

Yes

Yes. It requires assessing visibility, distance, relative speed, lateral clearance, traffic and prohibitions. On a two-way carriageway, entering the part used by oncoming vehicles adds a head-on collision risk. It does not necessarily involve increasing speed in every case and never permits exceeding the applicable limit. Do not begin unless you can complete it safely.
