1. Adelantamiento
El adelantamiento es la maniobra de pasar a otro usuario que circula en la misma dirección. Normalmente implica desplazarse a otra posición o carril, pasar al usuario más lento y volver a la posición adecuada cuando sea seguro.
Antes de adelantar, el conductor debe asegurarse de que hay visibilidad y espacio suficientes, comprobar espejos y ángulos muertos, señalizar cuando corresponda y verificar que ningún otro usuario ya está adelantando. La maniobra debe completarse sin superar el límite de velocidad ni poner en peligro a otros usuarios.
On which side must you normally overtake in Belgium?
Overtaking normally takes place on the left. An important exception is when the driver ahead has indicated an intention to turn left or stop on the left side and has moved left to perform that movement; in that situation, overtaking may take place on the right.
What must you check before overtaking in Belgium?
You must make sure that the road is clear far enough ahead, that no driver behind has already started overtaking, that you can return to the right without obstructing others and that the overtaking manoeuvre can be completed in a very short time.
When is overtaking prohibited in Belgium?
Overtaking on the left is prohibited in several situations, including where there is insufficient visibility, at certain intersections and railway crossings, near the crest of a hill or in a bend when visibility is insufficient, and when a vehicle is stopping or approaching an uncontrolled pedestrian or cyclist crossing in circumstances covered by the Road Code.
