BDifficulty 3/5

The vehicle overtaking your car abandons the manoeuvre and slows to return behind you. What must you do?

Correct answer

Facilitate its safe return to the lane.

Facilitate its return to the lane. Do not accelerate or make manoeuvres obstructing the overtaking vehicle. If reducing your own speed in that situation would endanger traffic, you need not do so; act safely to facilitate its return. A car has no general duty to move onto the shoulder.
