Before you attempt to overtake, are you required to ensure that the driver behind you hasn't already begun the overtaking manoeuvre?
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes, before you start overtaking you must make sure that the driver behind you has not started to overtake. The photo shows a wing mirror with a car travelling behind us. Under art. 24 para. 2 pt. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, before overtaking a driver must make sure that the vehicle behind has not started to overtake. Failing to check this could lead to a dangerous collision.
