Overtaking

Overtaking

Overtaking is potentially dangerous as it requires a motorcyclist to identify and process a lot of information in a short space of time and from that make a decision if it is safe to overtake or not.

Before you overtake a single vehicle you should consider the speed and movement of the vehicle in front.

Wait, be sure, and be safe before you go for any overtake.

Top tip for a motorcyclist overtaking is to be patient – if you are not sure, then don’t go for it, wait a few seconds. Circumstances will change, if you are still looking for that overtake further up the road, and it is safe to do so, go for it then.
