There's no priority. Sometimes A simply don't want to overtake, so B can overtake if B would like.
But B should first observe A's movement/intention on whether or not A wants to overtake, in which case common courtesy B should allow A to overtake first.

Whichever is the safer way. Too often, ego gets into the way and accidents happen.

No such rules about who got priority to overtake. First of all heavy vehicles should stay at left lane not middle lane.

QUOTE(ry8128 @ May 27 2020, 11:35 AM) There is no priority in overtaking. We just need basic common sense to handle this kind of situation. If B overtake first, then A must be aware of this surrounding before he start his overtaking move, eg, make sure he is not blocking B, or crash into B left side, or let B overtake first. Same thing applies if A overtake first. If B see A already start his move, then B should wait and let A overtake first. If both start at the same time, then logically A will the 'priority', unless B want to ramp into A. TLDR, common sense is needed. Yes. It depends on a quick “reading” of the situation. If I am A and approached the truck and B is behind me, and I am trying to overtake, first, if opposite traffic is clear, I have to gauge my speed against B speed and also B’s distance from me. If B is fast approaching and near me, I will not overtake. If B is fast approaching but still very far behind, I can speed up and overtake . If B is just behind but at same speed , I will signal and move to right to signal my intention and then overtake . Our brain will do these calculation subconsciously.

TS, in all I think more driving experience will improve your judgement and sound decision when you're in this kind of situation.
