What is the driver of the vehicle being overtaken forbidden to do?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations state that the driver of the vehicle being overtaken is obliged to facilitate the maneuver. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to increase speed or perform maneuvers that prevent or hinder the overtaking. Increasing speed is dangerous as it forces the overtaking vehicle to stay in the opposing lane for longer or to abort the maneuver abruptly. Speed should only be reduced if an imminent danger is perceived, to help the other vehicle return safely.
