The green vehicle reduces its speed because the overtaking manoeuvre that the white vehicle is about to perform is dangerous. Is this correct?
Overtaking
Explanation
Facilitate the return of the overtaking vehicle
When a vehicle overtakes by entering the **opposite lane**, there is a risk of **head-on collision** with oncoming vehicles. Therefore, the vehicle being overtaken must:
- **Decrease speed** (without braking abruptly) and keep to the right.
- **Not accelerate** or hinder the maneuver.
- Create a **gap** so that the overtaking vehicle can **return to the right as soon as possible**.
This reduces the time the overtaking vehicle remains in the opposite lane and minimizes the risk.
