Explanation

For answer  A 

Before engaging in an overtaking, at first, you MUST NOT move as close as possible to the one you intend to overtake, because first you must make sure that the vehicle in front and the one behind have not signalled the beginning of a similar manoeuvre. In addition, you must always keep an appropriate safety distance from the vehicle you intend to overtake, even before starting such a manoeuvre.


For answer  B 

Before engaging in an overtaking you MUST NOT warn by sound or light signals the driver of the vehicle that is going to be overtaken.


For answer  C 

When you want to perform the overtaking manoeuvre, you have the following obligations:

  • to make sure that the vehicle in front and the one behind have not signalled the beginning of a similar manoeuvre and that you can overtake without endangering or hindering the traffic from the opposite direction;
  • to signal the intention to perform the manoeuvre;
  • to keep during the overtaking a sufficient lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle;
  • to return to the initial lane or line of vehicles after you have signalled and made sure that you can perform the manoeuvre in safe conditions for the overtaken vehicle and for the other road users.

The correct answer is: C
