In order to overtake safely, the overtaking driver should:

1. Correct answer: Start overtaking only when the road is clear in a sufficient distance, and verify while overtaking that the road is still clear.
2. Overtake only when a sign permitting overtaking is placed.
3. Overtake in a speed that exceeds speed limit, in order to clear the road way.
4. Always overtake at a slow speed and with patience.

WhyStart overtaking only if a long enough stretch of road is clear, and keep watching it throughout. Speeding while overtaking is not allowed.
