While driving, you are using your motor vehicle’s active lane keep assist system. How can you manually override this driver assist system in the event that it intervenes?

You answered correctly. With most active lane keep assist systems in Germany, you can manually override the intervention by counter-steering—that is, applying force against the steering wheel in the direction you want to go. In many vehicles, using the indicator also overrides lane keeping because the system recognizes your intention to change lanes. Accelerating alone does not deactivate or override the lane keep assist—it generally stays active unless the system is manually turned off or overridden by steering or indicating. Knowing this helps you safely and legally retain control of your vehicle whenever you need to.
