Guidelines for Overtaking

  • Do not accelerate while being overtaken as this will take more time for the overtaking vehicle to pass you, and therefore, it may be dangerous for both the vehicles.
  • When being overtaken, keep to the left to give adequate lateral space to the overtaking vehicle.
  • Do not obstruct the view of the overtaken vehicle while overtaking.
  • Never overtake a vehicle from its left side.
  • Never overtake a vehicle near a pedestrian crossing.
  • Never overtake a vehicle when “No Overtaking” sign is given.
