When you want to overtake a vehicle, you must apply the following steps:
Leave enough distance between you and the vehicle so that the road is fully and clearly exposed to you
Look in your interior mirror and make sure that there are no speeding vehicles coming and trying to pass you
Look in the left side mirror and make sure that there are no vehicles overtaking
Look at the dead corner by turning your head to the left to see the side of the car that you cannot see in the mirror
If there are no vehicles and the road is safe for you, give a dimple to the left and move to the left lane
Do not increase your speed because the vehicle you are overtaking is already moving at a slow speed
After you pass the vehicle, you must spot the lights of the vehicle you passed in your center mirror
Then return to the right field and follow the steps mentioned above to move to the right field
It is forbidden to overtake at pedestrian crossings that are not protected by a traffic light. Preference must be given to pedestrians and bicycles, and one should closely look to the sides.
