What should you do if you want to overtake a tractor but are not sure that it's safe?

View hint

Following a tractor can be frustrating, but never overtake if you’re unsure whether it’s safe. Ask yourself: ‘Can I see far enough down the road to make sure that I can complete the manoeuvre safely?’ It’s better to be delayed for a minute or two than to take a chance that may cause a collision.
