Before starting the lateral movement to overtake, what action must the driver take to warn of their intention?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To perform any maneuver safely, the MSM sequence: Mirror, Signal, Maneuver must be followed. While observation (mirrors) is the indispensable preliminary step to verify safety, the question focuses on the obligation to warn other road users. According to Traffic Regulations, any lane change or lateral movement must be signaled well in advance using the corresponding turn signal (indicator). Accelerating is a subsequent action, and checking mirrors is an action of verification, not warning.
