Correct answer
- CFacilitar que termine la maniobra de adelantamiento (reducir la velocidad y, si es seguro, dejar espacio).Help them finish the overtaking manoeuvre (slow down and, if it is safe, leave space).
Explanation
The driver being overtaken may not speed up or hinder the overtaking, and if a dangerous situation arises during the manoeuvre they must reduce their speed (Article 86.2 of the General Traffic Regulations), making it easier for the other driver to finish or return to their lane.
