During an overtaking maneuver on a highway, what is the maximum allowed time for a special vehicle to drive parallel to another?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations state that all overtaking must be carried out quickly so as not to impede traffic flow. The specific rule dictates that driving in parallel during this maneuver must never exceed 15 seconds or cover more than 200 meters. If the special vehicle cannot complete the maneuver within these limits, it must abort the overtaking and return to its lane to avoid dangerous situations and congestion.
