Regarding overtaking and following, students who have just started on the road must remember some precautions and pay attention to obeying traffic rules to avoid accidents caused by violations.

Overtaking refers to the whole process in which the rear vehicle overtakes the vehicle in front and returns to the original lane during driving. When overtaking, observe the traffic situation behind and side rear in advance, turn on the turn signal in advance, and keep a certain safety distance. Do not overtake at intersections, railway crossings, sharp turns, narrow bridges, narrow roads, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, construction sections, etc., do not overtake on ramps, curves, arch bridges, etc., do not overtake at intersections, left turns, U-turn lanes, etc., and do not overtake at night without poor street lighting.

Following means driving closely behind the rear of the vehicle in front of you during driving. When following the car, too fast, too slow, too close is not OK, keep a safe distance and stable speed, avoid sudden braking or rapid acceleration, always observe the traffic situation in front and rear, do not follow large trucks, commercial vehicles and other large vehicles, do not follow the bus, do not follow the taxi, do not follow the practice car, etc., avoid blocking the line of sight when driving with the car, and try to keep a safe distance from the vehicle with relatively large randomness of stopping or turning.

In short, both overtaking and following vehicles need to maintain a safe distance, and always pay attention to the traffic around the vehicle to ensure driving safety.
