8 cases where overtaking is prohibited in Saudi Arabia

Do you know you could be fined for overtaking? The Saudi traffic department has published 8 scenarios where overtaking could be fined. Here are those cases.

1 – Overtaking is not allowed when the vision is not clear. This is the case due to heavy rainfall, dust, or fog which makes the vision unclear. In such a case overtaking could prove highly dangerous and can result in an accident.

2 – Overtaking is not permissible when there is no chance of safe overtaking. Overtaking can only be done when you are 100% sure that you can make it safely.
