Correct answer
Reduce speed and return to the lane from which it was started
If circumstances make safe completion difficult, promptly reduce speed, return to your lane and warn following traffic using the prescribed signals, as article 85.2 requires. Do not force the manoeuvre by accelerating or endanger other users. Attempt another overtake only after checking all safety conditions again.
