LO SPAZIO NECESSARIO ALLA MANOVRA DI SORPASSO

THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR AN OVERTAKING MANOEUVRE It is important for road safety. It increases when intending to overtake a queue of vehicles. It increases as the length of either of the two vehicles (the overtaking or the overtaken vehicle) increases. It increases if the vehicle being overtaken accelerates. It depends on the difference in speed between the overtaking vehicle and the overtaken vehicle: it is greater if there is little difference in speed between the vehicles. The safety distance must be maintained even when beginning an overtaking manoeuvre.
