Must the driver of a vehicle allow and facilitate being overtaken?
Overtaking
Explanation
The driver of a vehicle must **allow and facilitate** another vehicle to overtake. This means not only letting the other vehicle pass but also helping to ensure the maneuver is carried out safely and efficiently.
- **Allowing the overtaking** involves not increasing speed while another vehicle is attempting to overtake. This is crucial to avoid obstructing the other driver's maneuver.
- **Facilitating the overtaking** means the driver should position themselves at the right edge of the lane, without encroaching on the shoulder, to provide more space for the overtaking vehicle. Additionally, if a dangerous situation arises during the overtaking, the driver should reduce speed to allow the other vehicle to complete the maneuver safely.
- In the case of very large or heavy vehicles, which cannot easily move to the right, they should reduce speed and indicate to the driver behind that they can overtake. This indication can be made with hand signals or by turning on the right indicator light.

In summary, the driver must actively collaborate to ensure the overtaking is carried out smoothly, complying with road safety regulations.
