A vehicle wants to overtake you. Do you have to do anything to prevent it?
Overtaking
Explanation
When a vehicle wants to overtake you, **you must not do anything to prevent it**. It is important to facilitate the overtaking maneuver for the other driver. Here we explain why:
- **Facilitating the overtaking**: You must allow the other vehicle to overtake you without increasing your speed. Increasing speed is prohibited during this maneuver.
- **Positioning in the lane**: Position your vehicle at the right edge of the lane, but without encroaching on the shoulder. This helps the other driver have more space to complete the overtaking safely.
- **Reducing speed in dangerous situations**: If a dangerous situation arises while you are being overtaken, it is advisable to reduce your speed to facilitate the maneuver and avoid accidents.
- **Returning to the lane**: Once the vehicle has overtaken you, you must allow it to return to its lane without problems.
In summary, by allowing another vehicle to overtake you without impediments, you contribute to safer and smoother driving for everyone on the road.
