Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to Article 86(3) of the General Traffic Regulations, drivers of heavy vehicles, large vehicles or vehicles required to observe a specific speed limit must slow down or pull over onto the shoulder as soon as possible, if practicable, to let those following them pass when the insufficient width of the roadway, the density of oncoming traffic, or the road's profile or condition do not allow them to be overtaken easily and without danger. The obligation to cooperate therefore exists even though the overtaking is carried out by another driver, who must make sure that it can be done safely: it is not true that responsibility lies exclusively with the person overtaking. Nor is it limited to looking for a lay-by and stopping in it, because the rule provides for slowing down or pulling over onto the shoulder.
