Correct answer
- CReducir la velocidad y regresar a su carril sin obstaculizar.Slow down and return to their lane without getting in the way.
According to Article 85 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), once overtaking has started, if the driver meets circumstances that make it hard to finish the manoeuvre without risk, they must slow down and return to their lane. This requirement keeps the driver and the other vehicles on the road safe and prevents collisions. Speeding up or making other manoeuvres can cause dangerous situations and goes against the rules.
