Where is overtaking prohibited?

Overtaking is prohibited in specific situations to ensure safety on the roads.

1. When the traffic situation is not clear: This rule is critical because unclear traffic conditions can lead to unexpected actions by other drivers or obstacles that make overtaking dangerous.

2. Where oncoming traffic could be obstructed: This prevents collisions by ensuring that you do not block the lane of incoming vehicles while overtaking, especially on narrow roads or during turns.

Choosing just one of these scenarios does not fully capture the conditions under which overtaking is prohibited. It’s essential to consider all relevant factors to guarantee safe driving practices in various traffic situations. Understanding these rules helps to prevent accidents and promotes orderly traffic flow.
