What is the right course of action?

I overtake the van and then move into the middle lane

I move immediately into the lane to the right

I brake slightly to prompt the vehicle behind to keep its distance

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation

Your choice is correct. On the Autobahn, you are allowed to overtake slower vehicles by moving into the middle lane, provided you signal and check for safety. After overtaking, you should then return to the right lane when it's safe and there is enough space. You should not brake or try to force the following vehicle to keep its distance, as this could lead to dangerous situations and is not permitted. Only overtake when there's enough space and do not react aggressively to tailgating. Always follow the "keep right" principle, but only when safe to do so. Your understanding reflects safe and legal driving behavior in Germany.
