You have just been overtaken by the vehicle in front of you. Are you allowed to increase your speed immediately after being overtaken?
💡 Explanation
Correct answer: NO
🔍 Situation analysis: You can see a vehicle in front of you that has just finished overtaking your car and is returning to your lane. Warning signs for a dangerous curve and slippery surface are visible on the side of the road.
📖 Explanation of the rule: According to traffic regulations, a driver of a vehicle being overtaken must not increase speed during the overtaking maneuver or immediately after it. Your duty is to maintain a constant speed or reduce it to allow the overtaking driver to return to your lane safely and smoothly. Increasing speed in this situation is both dangerous and prohibited.
💡 Tip: Remember that driving culture is about facilitating maneuvers for others. If someone is overtaking you, lift your foot off the gas. Aggressive behavior, such as speeding up out of spite, is a frequent cause of accidents and indicates a lack of professionalism behind the wheel.
