Is overtaking considered a complex and risky maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, overtaking is considered a complex and high-risk maneuver. The main reason is that it breaks the normal flow of traffic, requiring the driver to leave their lane, significantly increase speed to pass in the shortest time possible, and, on conventional roads, invade the opposite direction, which carries the risk of a head-on collision. Therefore, traffic regulations require a thorough check of visibility and distance before initiating it. It is not limited only to highways; in fact, the risk is higher on secondary roads.
