BDifficulty 2/5

If an overtaking manoeuvre already begun becomes difficult to complete without creating risks, must you abandon it and return safely to your lane?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. Article 85.2 requires slowing down, returning to the lane and warning with the prescribed signals. This is not merely advice. Avoid adding danger, check the available space and signal the relevant lateral movement. Do not insist on completing dangerous overtaking.
