Reminder from the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security: During driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the road conditions ahead. When overtaking, it is necessary to ensure that there are no oncoming vehicles in the opposite direction from the borrowed lane to the original lane. When encountering large vehicles blocking the line of sight, poor visibility on curved slopes, etc., it is difficult to determine the situation of vehicles queuing in the same direction or oncoming vehicles in the opposite direction, it is necessary to follow the vehicles in an orderly manner and not force overtaking.
