Once the overtaking manoeuvre has begun, if dangerous circumstances arise, what must the driver do?
Overtaking
Explanation
When overtaking another vehicle, it is important to act with caution and be prepared for risky situations. If a dangerous circumstance arises during the overtaking, the safest action is to **reduce speed and return to the original lane without obstructing traffic**.
- **Reducing speed** allows for better control of the vehicle and avoids dangerous situations, such as collisions with oncoming vehicles or with the vehicle being overtaken.
- **Returning to the original lane** is crucial to avoid accidents. This should be done safely, without forcing other drivers to change their speed or trajectory.
In summary, in the face of any risk during an overtaking maneuver, the safest option is to reduce speed and return to the original lane, thus ensuring the safety of all road users.
