The rider in front always has the right of way. When overtaking, it is the duty of the overtaking rider to do so safely by leaving distance for the rider being overtaken, without obstructing, blocking, or making it difficult for them to continue.

There will be no argument on this rule. When an accident occurs from overtaking, the overtaking rider is responsible for the consequences, whether the accident happens before, during, or after the overtake, as the rider in front cannot see the rider following and overtaking.
