Comment

When overtaking, you must ensure that you have sufficient lateral distance to other road users: at least 1 meter to cars, trucks, buses, trams. For pedestrians and cyclists, the minimum distance is 1.5 meters. When we go back into lane you must not cut in on the driver you just overtook. (Check: Is he visible in the rearview mirror?)
