Wrong-side driving and illegal overtaking are dangerous traffic violations that can cause head-on collisions, severe injuries, and fatalities. Driving against the direction of traffic reduces the time available for other road users to react, while overtaking in restricted or low-visibility areas creates a high risk of impact with oncoming vehicles. Drivers should always stay within their designated lane, follow road markings, obey traffic signs, and avoid entering one-way streets from the wrong direction. Overtaking should only be performed where permitted, when visibility is clear and sufficient space is available to complete the manoeuvre safely.

Before overtaking, drivers should check mirrors and blind spots, signal their intention, assess the speed and position of nearby vehicles, and return to their lane only when it is safe. Overtaking should never be attempted near blind curves, intersections, pedestrian crossings, railway crossings, or other prohibited areas. Drivers should also avoid aggressive behaviour and never force another vehicle off the road. Respecting lane discipline, following overtaking rules, and exercising patience behind the wheel can prevent dangerous collisions and protect all road users.
