You want to continue driving straight ahead. What is the right course of action?

Your answer is correct because in German traffic rules, when you want to continue driving straight ahead and there are multiple lanes, you should first remain waiting in your lane until it is safe to move. Then, if there is enough space in the traffic on your right side, you should move to the right lane. This helps keep the traffic flow smooth and prevents unnecessary blocking of lanes.

The third option—overtaking the vehicle alongside you and switching lanes—is not correct because overtaking on the right side is generally not allowed unless specifically permitted, and it can be dangerous. Also, overtaking in such situations may violate right-of-way rules.

So, always hold your position first and then change lanes carefully if possible, following the rules of right of way and ensuring safety. This approach is intended to maintain orderly traffic movement and avoid conflicts or dangerous lane changes.
