BDifficulty 1/5

The vehicle that is overtaking abandons the overtaking manoeuvre (it wants to return). What must the green vehicle do?

Correct answer

Do not reduce speed so that it can position itself behind.

The general rule states that the driver of a vehicle being overtaken must facilitate the overtaking manoeuvre and must never increase their speed. If the driver wishing to overtake, in this case the white vehicle, abandons the manoeuvre because there is a risk and wants to return, the green vehicle being overtaken must not reduce its speed to create space behind it for the white vehicle to return to the right-hand lane.
