Should you abandon an overtaking manoeuvre if, once begun, a circumstance arises that endangers the safety of road users?
Overtaking
Explanation
When overtaking, it is essential to **prioritize the safety** of all road users. If during the maneuver any circumstance arises that could endanger safety, it is necessary to desist from overtaking.
- **Reducing speed** and **returning to the right lane** is the correct action. This allows you to regain a safe position on the road without causing additional risks.
- Increasing speed to quickly complete the overtaking, as suggested by the second option, is prohibited, as it can increase danger, especially if the permitted speed limit is exceeded.
- Braking sharply, as indicated by the third option, can be dangerous and cause accidents, as it does not allow for a safe reintegration into the right lane.
Additionally, it is important to remember that during an overtaking, if an oncoming vehicle is detected or the overtaken vehicle accelerates, you must **reduce speed** and return to the original lane. This ensures that the safety of other drivers is not compromised.
