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

For trucks over 3.5 tons in Germany, there are special rules on multi-lane roads, especially when traffic is denser or visibility is limited. In such situations, you must not overtake unless it is clearly safe, so you should refrain from overtaking. Also, you should reduce your speed if the conditions require extra caution—for example, when following another truck at a close distance, in a curve, or if a faster vehicle is approaching from behind. This ensures safety for you and other road users. Accelerating would not be appropriate, as large trucks need more time and space to stop, and higher speed increases risks in these situations. By selecting refraining from overtaking and reducing speed, you chose the actions that match German traffic regulations for trucks in scenarios like this.
