Aborted overtaking: behavior of the overtaken vehicle

- Basic rule: the vehicle being overtaken must **facilitate the maneuver** and **not increase its speed**.
- If the overtaking driver gives up due to risk and wants to return, the overtaken vehicle must **maintain its speed and trajectory**. That is, **not reduce speed to “create a gap” behind**.
- The responsibility to return to the right lane lies with the driver who was overtaking, adjusting **their** speed to position themselves behind.
- Safety reason: maintaining a **constant speed** provides **predictability** and prevents chain reactions or rear-end collisions due to unexpected braking.
