When overtaking several trucks, you are faced with this situation. What should you do now?

Your answer is correct because in this situation both actions are important for safe overtaking of several trucks.

1. Aborting the overtaking manoeuvre is necessary if you cannot complete it safely, for example, if there is oncoming traffic or not enough space ahead. This prevents dangerous situations.

2. After pulling back into your lane behind the trucks, you must establish an adequate safety distance again. This means leaving enough space to the trucks to allow for safe driving and reaction in case they slow down or stop.

The third option, continuing quickly and pulling in front of the red truck without maintaining safety distance, is incorrect because it can cause a collision or force the truck to brake suddenly. German traffic rules require maintaining a safe distance after overtaking to ensure safety for all road users.

So the rule to remember: When overtaking multiple trucks, if the overtaking is not safe to complete, abort it promptly and return to your lane, then keep a safe distance behind the trucks. This helps prevent accidents and ensures smooth traffic flow.
