From July 19 to 22, a preventive event "ONCOMING LANE!" will be held in the Lepel district.
Overtaking is the most dangerous manoeuvre when driving a car. Moreover, it is equally dangerous for the overtaking, the overtaken, and the oncoming vehicles. It is overtaking that is the most common cause of road traffic accidents.
In addition to the general requirements listed in the traffic rules, when overtaking, it is useful to know a number of technical techniques that help to overtake safely: - constantly monitor the situation ahead and behind.
You need to make sure that no one is overtaking you at the moment you start to overtake; - do not overtake a vehicle that is slowing down or deviating from a straight path; - do not get too close to the vehicles being overtaken from behind.
In this case, distance is necessary for acceleration and for better visibility of the road; - someone may always be driving faster. Give them the opportunity to overtake - at the moment of overtaking, if there are no oncoming vehicles, do not press the accelerator, but do not brake either.
