What should you anticipate, if you want to overtake?

Your understanding of what to anticipate when overtaking is correct. When preparing to overtake, you must consider several risks:

1. Unsafe riding manner of the cyclist: Cyclists can be unpredictable and may swerve or brake suddenly. This requires you to be vigilant and prepared to react safely.

2. Extended stopping distance: Due to the snowy and icy road conditions shown in the image, your vehicle will need a longer distance to stop safely. Braking must be done gently to avoid skidding.

3. Risk of skidding: The icy road increases the chance of skidding, especially when accelerating, braking, or steering sharply. This makes overtaking riskier than usual.

In summary, overtaking in these conditions requires extra caution because the cyclist's behavior, the longer stopping distance, and the risk of skidding all increase the danger. This is why all three points must be considered simultaneously before overtaking.
