Rule 13

Overtaking.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Rules of Part B, Sections I and II any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken.

(b) A vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking when coming up with another vessel from a direction more than 22.5 degrees abaft her beam, that is, in such a position with reference to the vessel she is overtaking, that at night she would be able to see only the sternlight of that vessel but neither of her sidelights.

(c) When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether she is overtaking another, she shall assume that this is the case and act accordingly.

(d) Any subsequent alteration of bearing between the two vessels shall not make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these rules or relieve her of the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past and clear.

если разговор идет про автомобили, надо посмотреть еще, есть ли в английских правилах движения разница между обгоном и опережением.
Первое есть маневр с выездом на встречную полосу движения, второе - маневр без выезда на встречную полосу движения.

простите, в американском английском overtake используется очень редко и только в смысле Soviet Union overtook Germany in WWII...

Может быть, подойдет классика: "Догнать и перегнать"?
Catch up and leave behind
