  2. B.Check mirrors, signal and move out if it is safe to do so.
  3. C.Signal, check mirrors, move out and overtake when safe to do so.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. Check mirrors, signal and move out if it is safe to do so.

The procedure drivers should follow the mirrors - signal - manoeuvre routine when overtaking. Drivers should overtake only when it is safe to do so. Give extra space to e-scooters when overtaking them, as they may need to move out to avoid a pothole, or they could be blown into your path on windy days.
