If you intend to overtake this vehicle, are you allowed to reduce the safety distance?
Overtaking
Explanation
Overtaking without reducing the safe distance
- The regulations require maintaining the **safe distance** at all times, including when preparing an **overtake**.
- Reducing it increases the risk of a **collision** and worsens **visibility** to check the opposite direction.
- Maintaining it provides **time and space** to react to unforeseen events and perform the maneuver in a **safe and controlled** manner.
- Therefore, you should not get closer to the vehicle in front to overtake; you maintain the distance and only start the maneuver when it is clearly **safe**.
