Overtaking heavy vehicles like trucks requires significantly more time and space due to their length and acceleration capabilities. It also involves being aware of potential air turbulence and larger blind spots, as specified by Portuguese traffic regulations.
When being overtaken by a heavy vehicle in Portugal, you should maintain your speed and, if safe to do so, move slightly to the right to provide more space. Never accelerate, as this makes the manoeuvre more difficult and dangerous for the overtaking driver, according to the Código da Estrada.
No, Portuguese traffic law includes specific prohibitions for heavy vehicles overtaking, especially certain types of trucks, under particular conditions or in designated zones, often indicated by specific regulatory road signs like 'No overtaking by lorries'.
