If you notice that the vehicle behind you intends to overtake your moped, how must you act?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A driver who notices that another driver following wants to overtake must keep to the right edge of the roadway and must not increase speed or make maneuvers that prevent or hinder the overtaking (General Traffic Regulations, Articles 86(1) and 86(2)). In addition, if once the maneuver has begun a dangerous situation arises (for example, traffic appearing ahead), the driver must reduce speed, which allows the overtaking driver to complete the maneuver or return to the lane. That is why accelerating to prevent it from completing the overtaking is a mistake. Signaling with the arm to say whether it may pass or not is not what is asked for in this situation either: the Regulations provide only that the driver being overtaken indicates with the arm or the right indicator that overtaking is possible in a specific case (heavy vehicles, vehicles of large dimensions or vehicles with a specific speed limit that cannot keep fully to the right), and the decision to overtake rests with the one overtaking.
