What do you do when overtaking?

1. Accelerate and honk

2. Mirror, signal, maneuvers

3. Flash your lights before overtaking

4. Overtake without signaling if the road is clear

The correct answer is: Mirror, signal, maneuvers

Overtaking is the process of passing another vehicle when driving. The correct answer, B, advises the correct steps to take when performing an overtake maneuver. First, you should check your mirrors to ensure it is safe to overtake. Then, signal to indicate your intention to change lanes. Finally, perform the overtaking maneuver in a controlled and safe manner. Option A is incorrect because honking is not necessary when overtaking and can be considered rude or aggressive. Option C is incorrect because flashing lights should only be used as a warning to other drivers, not as a way to signal your intent to overtake. Option D is incorrect because it is important to always use your turn signal when changing lanes, even when overtaking.
