How must you act if you observe that the vehicle preceding you has indicated an intention to move towards the side on which you intend to overtake?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that if the driver ahead has signaled an intention to move to the same side (for example, to turn or change lanes), they have priority, and you must refrain from overtaking. However, there is an exception: if after waiting a reasonable amount of time the vehicle does not begin the maneuver, you may overtake, but it is mandatory to first warn them with acoustic signals (horn) or light signals (flashing lights) to prevent an accident.
