When driving a large vehicle, if you notice that the passenger car behind you intends to overtake you but cannot do so safely because of the density of traffic, how must you make the maneuver easier for it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to Article 86(3) of the General Traffic Regulations, drivers of heavy or large vehicles, or of vehicles obliged to respect a specific speed limit, must slow down or pull over as soon as possible onto the shoulder, if it is practicable, to let those following pass when the volume of oncoming traffic, the insufficient width of the roadway, its profile or its condition do not allow them to be overtaken easily and without danger. In addition, every driver who notices that another wishes to overtake must keep to the right edge of the roadway (Article 86(1)), so you must move toward the curb as far as you can. If it is not possible to keep fully to the edge and overtaking can be done safely, that possibility may be indicated to the approaching driver by moving the arm horizontally from back to front or with the right indicator. Therefore, it is not true that in these circumstances overtaking must not be facilitated, nor that heavy vehicles are exempt from doing so: cooperating is a duty under the regulations.
