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?

The combination you selected is correct because each point addresses an important aspect of overtaking in a convoy situation.

1. Overtaking distance with a convoy is larger due to the length of the group of vehicles. This means you have a greater amount of time and space required to complete the maneuver safely, increasing the risk of an accident if done improperly.

2. Breaking the convoy by pulling back into the lane too early can disrupt the flow of traffic and can lead to accidents or confusion among drivers. It is essential to maintain the integrity of the convoy.

3. The inability to assess the traffic situation ahead of the convoy heightens the risk of encountering obstacles, slower-moving traffic, or other hazards that you wouldn't see until after initiating the overtaking maneuver.

Understanding and adhering to these points is crucial as they align with the principles set forth in German traffic regulations, emphasizing safety and the importance of situational awareness on the road.
