If a vehicle is overtaking you and the manoeuvre is going to create a dangerous situation, what should you generally do?
Overtaking
Explanation
When a vehicle is overtaking you and the maneuver may create a dangerous situation, it is important to **reduce your speed** to facilitate the overtaking. This helps the other driver complete the maneuver safely and without additional risks.
- **Facilitate overtaking**: As a general rule, you should allow the other vehicle to overtake you without increasing your speed. In fact, it is prohibited to accelerate at that moment.
- **Reduce speed in dangerous situations**: If a dangerous situation arises during overtaking, such as an obstacle on the road or an oncoming vehicle, it is crucial to reduce your speed to minimize the risk of an accident.
- **Lane positioning**: You should keep your vehicle on the right edge of the lane, without encroaching on the shoulder, to give more space to the overtaking vehicle.
By following these guidelines, you contribute to road safety and avoid dangerous situations during overtaking.
