CDifficulty 3/5

I am driving a lorry along a section where overtaking is prohibited and catch up with a novice driver's vehicle travelling slowly. How should we act?

Correct answer

I will drive behind it, respecting the safe distance until I can overtake it.

When travelling along a section of road where overtaking is prohibited, you must drive while maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front until you can overtake it, if you wish, when overtaking is permitted.
