Explanation

For answer  A 

While driving at the maximum speed allowed you notice that another vehicle is trying to overtake you, in this situation you are obliged to not increase the travel speed and to drive as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway or of the lane on which you are driving, without signalling in any way to the driver that he is exceeding the speed limit.


For answer  B 

Signalling with the intermittent light refers to signalling with the hazard warning lights, and these will be used only in conditions clearly established by the traffic legislation. Moreover, the one who is overtaking you will not understand the message transmitted by you and it is possible to confuse him.


For answer  C 

The traffic legislation does not oblige you to signal the drivers of vehicles who do not respect the legal speed limit or who do not respect the traffic rules. Moreover, the one who is overtaking you will not understand the message transmitted by you and it is possible to confuse him.
