You are driving a truck with a gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 3.5 t. What should you do now?

Your answer is fully correct. According to German traffic rules, when driving a truck heavier than 3.5 tons, you must refrain from overtaking on certain roads to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow, especially when conditions do not allow safe passing. Additionally, reducing your speed is important to maintain control and accommodate the truck's longer stopping distances and limited maneuverability. Accelerating in such situations is not advisable as it can be unsafe and disrupt traffic. This combination helps prevent accidents and ensures compliance with regulations designed for heavy vehicles.
