You are driving on a road with one lane for each direction. A convoy of motor vehicles is driving up ahead of you. Why should you refrain from overtaking in order to prevent a dangerous situation from occurring?

Your selected answer is correct because it encompasses all important aspects related to overtaking a convoy of vehicles on a road with one lane for each direction.

1. The overtaking distance indeed varies, as it is greater for multiple vehicles compared to a single vehicle. This can lead to a greater risk when attempting to overtake.

2. By pulling back into your lane too early, you may disrupt the convoy, putting yourself and others at risk due to potential sudden stops or changes in speed.

3. Additionally, without a clear view of the road ahead, it's challenging to assess any potential hazards or oncoming traffic, which can lead to dangerous situations.

These points collectively highlight the importance of caution when dealing with convoys and align with the principles outlined in the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), which emphasize safety and awareness on the road.
