In this scenario, should you check the left-side mirror before overtaking to make sure the manoeuvre is possible?
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes. Under art. 24 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, before starting to overtake a driver must make sure that conditions allow the manoeuvre. A glance in the left wing mirror shows whether the vehicle behind has already started to overtake, which is one of the basic safety conditions.
