How should you react if another vehicle is trying to overtake you but is taking a long time to do so?

Explanation: If a vehicle is taking a long time to overtake, you should try to help the situation by slowing down. Your safety and the safety of other road users could be at risk if you maintain speed and prolong the time it takes for the overtaking manoeuvre to be completed.
