You want to overtake a truck with a trailer. What must you be aware of when doing so?

When overtaking a truck with a trailer, you need to remember two important things. First, the length of the vehicle combination is much greater, so you need a longer distance to pass safely. Second, the size and structure of the truck with a trailer can block your view, hiding vehicles in front of it. Both these factors make overtaking riskier and require extra caution. The third answer about only pulling out when directly behind is not a legal requirement. Always make sure you have a clear view and a long enough stretch of road to overtake safely.
