On a 2-lane motorway, what procedure should a driver adopt when wishing to overtake another vehicle safely?
- Correct answerUse their mirrors, signal and overtake in the right-hand lane when it is safe to do so.
- Check for following traffic and overtake in either lane.
- Use their mirrors, signal and overtake in the left-hand lane only.
- Signal, use their mirrors and overtake in any available lane when it is safe to do so.
Explanation
When a driver wants to overtake on a motorway, they should generally only overtake on the right unless traffic is travelling in slow moving queues. The driver should use the Mirror - Signal - Mirror (blind spots) - Manoeuvre routine. Check mirrors, signal intention, check mirrors again (and blind spots), and complete the manoeuvre when it is safe to do so. They should pay particular attention to the speed of the traffic behind them before they move out. When they have finished overtaking, they should move back into the left-hand lane smoothly.

在双车道高速公路上，司机想要安全超车时应采取什么程序？
- 在安全的情况下，使用后视镜、打信号并从右侧车道超车。
- 检查后方交通情况，并在任一车道超车。
- 查看后视镜、打信号，并只在左侧车道超车。
- 打信号，使用后视镜，并在安全的情况下从任意可用车道超车。
当司机想在高速公路上超车时，一般应只在右侧超车，除非交通在缓慢移动的车队中。司机应使用“镜子-信号-镜子（盲点）-操作”步骤。检查后视镜，发出信号，再次检查后视镜（和盲点），并在安全时完成操作。他们在驶出前应特别注意后方交通的速度。超车完成后，应平稳地回到左侧车道。
