Correct answer
Abandon the manoeuvre, reduce speed promptly and return to your lane with the required signals.
Reduce speed promptly, return to your lane and warn following drivers with the required signals under Article 85.2, avoiding danger to other road users. Do not insist on finishing an unsafe manoeuvre. Article 87.1.a prohibits overtaking with insufficient visibility unless the directions are clearly separated and the manoeuvre can be completed without entering the opposing side; that exception does not apply here. The rule is not exclusive to heavy vehicles.
