You want to overtake. What should you do now?

Your choice is correct because when you want to overtake, you must first be sure that other vehicles are not already in the process of overtaking you. According to German traffic rules (§ 5 StVO), if the car ahead (in this case the blue car) is about to overtake another vehicle, you must wait and not start your overtaking maneuver. This ensures safety by preventing multiple overtaking vehicles at once, which could cause dangerous situations.

By not overtaking yet, you give the blue car the opportunity to finish its overtaking maneuver safely. Only after the blue car has completed overtaking and it is safe, may you proceed with your overtaking. This rule helps to keep clear road situations and avoid conflicts on two-lane roads.

The other options are incorrect because following too closely during another vehicle’s overtaking can be risky, and attempting to overtake multiple vehicles at once without clear visibility is often unsafe and frequently prohibited. The safest and legally correct approach is to wait until it is clear and other overtaking cars have finished their maneuvers.
