Correct answer

Keep to the right-hand edge without accelerating or obstructing the manoeuvre.

Keep to the right-hand edge without accelerating or obstructing the overtake. The exception concerns turning or changing direction left or stopping on that side. There is no duty to brake every time someone overtakes: reduce speed when a dangerous situation requires it and facilitate passage in the other prescribed circumstances. A right indicator does not confer priority or certify that another driver can overtake.
