How to safely overtake a vehicle that's longer than you As the driver, you are still responsible for ensuring it is safe to cross the centreline and overtake. If the rear pilot waves you past or calls you over the UHF radio (using UHF Channel 40) and advises that it’s safe to overtake, proceed with extreme caution.

The driver will sometimes pull over and signal when it is safe for you to pass. When following behind an oversize or agricultural vehicle, be patient and keep a safe distance. Take care when re-entering the road – indicate and wait until the entire convoy has passed, including the last Pilot vehicle, where present. If the OSOM or agricultural vehicle is extra-wide, you may need to pull over completely for the vehicle to pass safely.
