Remember being in a rush is not a reason to overtake.<br>Be decisive, make sure when you pass a vehicle there\u2019s a plenty of room before you pull back in. Pulling back in too soon is a major cause of road rage.<br>Most importantly when you are overtaking don\u2019t break the speed limit.<br>My top tip for overtaking is to remember:<br>Is it safe? Is it legal? Is it necessary?<br>You want to make sure you also use the MSM routine which is mirror signal manoeuvre. If you use those two together, you\u2019ll be safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third instalment in our new Test Tips series is now live.
