What should you do in this situation?

In Germany, when you encounter a narrow road where it’s difficult for two vehicles to pass at the same time due to parked cars or other obstacles, the general rule is that the person who can reach a gap or wider spot first should use it to allow the oncoming vehicle to pass. If you are closer to a passing space or gap, you should pull into it and wait. This keeps traffic moving smoothly and avoids unnecessary reversing.

The answer you selected is correct because it follows this principle: you should pull into the gap to let the oncoming car drive past if you can reach the gap more easily. This approach prioritizes practicality and safety, helping both vehicles avoid getting stuck or having to reverse in a tight space. Always anticipate narrow road situations, drive slowly, and look ahead for passing opportunities.
