You are driving in the left of two lanes and approaching a vehicle that has just started to overtake. What do you do?

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation
When you are driving in the left lane and notice a vehicle beginning to overtake the vehicle ahead of you, you should allow the overtaking maneuver to proceed safely. This involves two key actions: first, you should not block or interfere with the overtaking vehicle (which corresponds to allowing the vehicle in front to be overtaken), and second, you must maintain a safe distance behind the vehicle ahead to provide enough space for the overtaking maneuver. Closing up, sounding your horn, or flashing your lights is not allowed because it can intimidate or confuse other drivers and increase the risk of accidents. German traffic rules prioritize safe and courteous driving, especially during overtaking.
