Is it advisable to give up when circumstances that make overtaking difficult are noticed once it has been started?
Overtaking
Explanation
It is **advisable to desist** from an overtaking maneuver if circumstances arise that make it difficult, even if it has already been initiated. This is due to several principles of **preventive driving**:
- **Safety first**: If unforeseen situations arise during the overtaking that complicate the maneuver, it is safer to desist. This avoids unnecessary risks and possible accidents.
- **Space and time**: Maintaining an adequate distance and having time to react are key aspects of preventive driving. If the overtaking becomes complicated, it is likely that there is not enough space or time to complete it safely.
- **Reaction to unforeseen events**: In situations where the vehicle behind approaches too closely, it is important not to brake abruptly. Similarly, if the overtaking becomes complicated, it is better to desist to avoid abrupt maneuvers that could endanger other drivers.
In summary, prioritizing safety and accident prevention is essential, and desisting from a complicated overtaking is a prudent and responsible decision.
