On the road
Overtaking is a situation that every Baobei can encounter
But do you know why you can't overtake on the right

The danger of TA is too high!
Risk of overtaking on the right
Hidden dangers of blind spots
01
The driver is on the left, so the blind spot on the right side is the largest. As a result, the overtaker cannot see the road on the right, and the overtaking person will not be able to detect the vehicle overtaking on the right.
Rear-end crisis in case of emergency
02
When overtaking from the right and suddenly finding an obstacle ahead, the driver must make a quick decision: brake sharply or change lanes urgently. Both options can cause the vehicle behind to fail to react, triggering a cascade of rear-end collisions.
Safety threats to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles
03
The right-hand lane on urban roads is often in close proximity to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles. Overtaking from here, in the event of an accident, the consequences are unimaginable.
Legal Provisions
Article 47 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that when a motor vehicle overtakes, it shall turn on the left turn signal, change the use of high and low beam lights or honk its horn in advance. On roads where there is no road centerline or there is only one lane in the same direction, if the vehicle in front meets the vehicle behind and signals to overtake, if possible, reduce the speed and give way to the right. The vehicle behind should pass over the left side of the vehicle in front after confirming that there is sufficient safety distance, and after pulling away from the vehicle being overtaken at the necessary safety distance, turn on the right turn signal and drive back to the original lane.
Tips for safe overtaking
01
Control your speed before overtaking
For the driver of the manual transmission car, it may be possible to increase the speed before overtaking, the vehicle is achieved by the torque exerted by the engine, the torque of the high gear is small, the throttle response is sluggish, the acceleration is sluggish, the time required is shorter, and the time required is shorter when overtaking at full speed when refueling.
02
Pay attention to the road conditions and vehicle conditions
Make sure that the road conditions are straight and wide, the line of sight is good, there is no oncoming traffic within 150m of the road ahead, turn signals, and return to the driving lane after passing a safe distance after overtaking, so as to prevent scratching the overtaken vehicles. If you find an obstacle on the left side when overtaking, slow down as soon as possible, stop overtaking, and do not brake urgently to prevent rear-end collision.
03
Be cautious about overtaking on special sections
Special sections such as tunnels, steep slopes, intersections, sharp bends, and in adverse weather conditions, overtaking often means a higher risk. In these situations, stay calm and cautious and don't overtake rashly.
04
Beware of roadside vehicles starting at any time
When overtaking on a city road, if a stopped vehicle just starts or opens the door, or someone gets out of the car, it is easy to get into an accident and scratch, so you should be vigilant, overtake slowly and be ready to stop at any time.
05
Turn on the turn signal reminder when overtaking
Be sure to turn on your turn signal alert when overtaking to inform other drivers of your intentions and actions in time. The correct use of lights can greatly improve the safety of the overtaking process.
