Can a tram driver increase the speed when the tram he is driving is being overtaken?

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The driver of a vehicle being overtaken is prohibited from increasing speed during the overtaking manoeuvre and immediately afterwards. This rule applies to all drivers, including tram drivers. In the situation shown in the video, the tram is being overtaken by a car, therefore the tram driver must not accelerate in order not to impede this manoeuvre.
