What must be done when, once an overtaking manoeuvre has been started, a situation arises that makes it impossible to complete it?
Overtaking
Explanation
When overtaking another vehicle, it is important to follow certain rules to ensure safety. If an unforeseen event occurs during the overtaking that prevents its completion, the correct action is to **reduce speed and return to the lane from which you started**.
- **Safety first**: If a dangerous situation arises, such as an oncoming vehicle or the vehicle you are overtaking accelerates, it is crucial to **slow down** and return to the original lane. This minimizes the risk of accidents.
- **Sufficient space**: When overtaking, you should always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle you are overtaking. If you cannot maintain this distance or complete the overtaking safely, it is better to return to the initial lane.
- **Do not increase speed**: Increasing speed to try to complete the overtaking can be dangerous and is prohibited if it exceeds the allowed speed limit.
By following these guidelines, a safer overtaking maneuver is ensured, and risky situations on the road are avoided.
