During an overtaking manoeuvre, the driver of the vehicle being overtaken must continue to facilitate the manoeuvre. This obliges them to:
- Not increase their speed.
- Not carry out any manoeuvre that prevents or obstructs the overtaking.
- Reduce their speed when, once the overtaking manoeuvre has begun, a situation arises that poses a danger to their own vehicle, to the vehicle carrying out the manoeuvre, to those travelling in the opposite direction, or to any other road user.
