Explanation

During overtaking, the driver of the vehicle being overtaken must continue to make the manoeuvre easier. This requires them to: - Not increase speed. - Not make any manoeuvre that prevents or hinders the overtaking. - Reduce speed when, once the overtaking has started, a situation arises that is dangerous for their own vehicle, for the overtaking vehicle, for oncoming traffic or for any other road user.
