Where are you particularly at risk during an overtaking manoeuvre here?

During an overtaking maneuver, you need to be particularly aware of two key risk areas related to trucks.

1. **Entering the Truck’s Wind-Sheltered Area:** When you begin your overtaking maneuver and enter the sheltered area behind the truck, visibility can be reduced. This can make it hard to see oncoming vehicles or other hazards.

2. **Exiting the Truck’s Wind-Sheltered Area:** When you move out of this sheltered area, you may suddenly encounter strong winds and turbulence caused by the truck, which can affect your vehicle's stability.

Both situations increase the risk of losing control or being unable to respond effectively to other traffic. Therefore, it's critical to consider both aspects for safe overtaking, ensuring you have clear visibility and control throughout the maneuver. According to German traffic regulations, maintaining awareness of these risks is essential for safe driving practices.
