Overtaking an Articulated Vehicles.

Overtaking an articulated vehicle is more difficult.

-Drop back.
This will increase your ability to see ahead and should allow the driver of the articulated vehicle to see you in their mirrors, getting too close will obscure your view of the road ahead and there may be another slow moving vehicle in front

-Make sure that you have enough room to complete your overtaking manoeuvre before committing yourself. It takes longer to pass an articulated vehicle.

If in doubt do NOT overtake

-Do not follow a vehicle ahead which is overtaking a long vehicle. If a problem develops, they may abort overtaking and pull back in, that you leave you exposed.
