If you have started overtaking and circumstances arise that make it difficult to finish without causing risks, what must you do?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Safety is the absolute priority in maneuvers. If any danger or doubt arises about the ability to finish safely during an overtaking maneuver (for example, an oncoming vehicle appears or there is a lack of power), the driver must immediately abort the maneuver. The correct action is to lift off the accelerator or brake gently if necessary, signal with the right indicator, and return to your lane, positioning yourself behind the vehicle you were attempting to overtake. Accelerating to force the situation is extremely dangerous, and expecting the other vehicle to move aside is not valid regulatory conduct.
