Overtaking maneuvers refer to the actions taken by a driver to pass another vehicle traveling in the same direction. This typically involves moving into an adjacent lane, accelerating to safely pass the slower vehicle, and then returning to the original lane once the maneuver is complete. Proper signaling and checking blind spots are essential for safety during this process. These maneuvers are commonly performed on roads with multiple lanes, such as highways or busy streets. Drivers must be aware of traffic laws and road conditions to ensure that overtaking is done safely and legally. It is crucial to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken to avoid collisions.
