HOW TO OVERTAKE A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE
When learning to drive, one of the skills that create the most anxiety is learning how to overtake slow moving vehicles. The mix of car control, anticipating the actions of other road users, crossing onto the other side of the road and making a good informed decision can be nerve racking.
If this is how you feel then fear not, we’ve just uploaded a video to our new Youtube channel which takes you through different scenarios, giving you step by step guidance on the best approach for each. These include:
- Passing parked vehicles,
- Overtaking Cyclists
- Overtaking Buses
- Overtaking Bin Lorries
- And what happens if oncoming traffic stops you from overtaking. Where should you stop the car?
Once you understand the routines, and practice them regularly, the nerves will disappear over time. The most important thing to remember is not to panic. When you panic things become so much harder, your car control will become clunky and you will rush a decision which will most likely be wrong. Take your time, take a deep breath and follow the routines contained in the video
