A vehicle about to overtake need not watch the traffic ahead of the vehicle in front, and must watch only oncoming and following traffic.
追越しをしようとする車は、前の車の前方の交通には注意しなくてよく、対向車と後方の車にだけ注意しなければならない。
This statement is FALSE
Explanation
False. You must also pay full attention to the traffic ahead of the vehicle in front. Whatever makes it stop suddenly is usually in front of it.
