If you observe that the vehicle overtaking you indicates its intention to return to the right lane, how should you act to facilitate the maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The driver of the vehicle being overtaken is obliged to facilitate the completion of the overtaking maneuver. The general rule states that you must not increase speed and must keep to the right edge of the roadway. Maintaining a constant speed and position allows the overtaking driver to correctly calculate the distance and time to return to the lane safely. Braking sharply is dangerous and can cause rear-end collisions, and driving on the shoulder is only allowed in cases of emergency or breakdown, not to facilitate overtaking.
