Before starting an overtaking maneuver, which aspects relating to speed must the driver assess?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When overtaking, the driver must assess two fundamental aspects linked to speed: first, the actual speed at which all the vehicles involved in the maneuver are traveling (the vehicle ahead, those behind and those that might approach from the opposite direction), essential for calculating accurately the time and space required; second, the legal speed limits in force, whether generic or specific to the section, the vehicle or the driver. It should be remembered that trucks must not exceed the regulatory maximum speed under any circumstances, not even to overtake.
