DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the General Traffic Regulations (Article 86), drivers of heavy, oversized or slow-moving vehicles are required to facilitate overtaking. When they cannot pull over completely to the right edge of the roadway and see that overtaking can be carried out in complete safety, they must indicate this to the vehicle behind by using the right indicator or by putting the arm out of the window and waving it repeatedly from back to front. The option proposing the use of the left indicator is incorrect and dangerous, since it would signal the intention to move to the left or warn of an imminent danger that would prevent overtaking.
