What should you do now?

When another vehicle is overtaking you on a rural road, German traffic rules require you to make the overtake as safe as possible. This means you should slow down if needed (option 1) and drive as far to the right as safely possible (option 2). Doing both gives the overtaking driver more space and time to complete their maneuver safely. Accelerating is forbidden in this situation because it can endanger the overtaking process. Your answers, slowing down and moving to the right, are exactly correct and reflect the best driving practice according to the German road traffic regulations. Remember: always help the other driver overtake safely by being predictable and cooperative.
