In which cases must you abandon overtaking?

The correct option combination indicates specific situations where overtaking should be abandoned to ensure safety.

1. When the road user being overtaken suddenly accelerates, it poses a risk as the driver attempting to overtake may not have enough space or time to complete the maneuver safely.

2. When there is danger from unexpected oncoming traffic, continuing to overtake could lead to a head-on collision or near-miss, making it essential to halt the overtaking process.

These rules are grounded in principles of road safety as outlined in German traffic laws, which prioritize the safety of all road users. Selecting all relevant options is crucial because missing one can put drivers, passengers, or pedestrians at risk.
