| 14.4. | If, on a road outside a populated area, the road situation does not allow overtaking agricultural machinery whose width exceeds 2.6 m, a slow-moving or oversized vehicle, its driver must move as far to the right as possible and, if necessary, stop on the shoulder and let the vehicles moving behind pass. |
| 14.5. | A driver overtaking may remain in the oncoming traffic lane if, after returning to the previously occupied lane, the driver would have to start overtaking again, provided that no danger is created for oncoming vehicles and that no obstacle is created for vehicles moving behind at a higher speed. |
