You are overtaken by a police vehicle, which pulls in immediately in front of you. The words "BITTE FOLGEN" (PLEASE FOLLOW) appear illuminated in red on the roof. What should you do?

When a police vehicle overtakes you and displays "BITTE FOLGEN" (PLEASE FOLLOW) on its roof, it is a clear instruction for you to follow the police car without delay. According to German traffic rules, you must follow the police vehicle immediately, as it usually indicates that the police want to stop or escort you. If the police vehicle stops, you are also required to stop. The third option—allowing the engine to continue running once stopped—is not part of the official instruction and depends on the situation, but it is not a required action. The key rule is to comply promptly by following the vehicle and stopping when it stops to ensure safety and cooperation with law enforcement.
