When a vehicle with a higher maximum speed catches up with you, you must not change course until it has finished overtaking.

自分より最高速度が高い車に追いつかれたときは、その車が追越しを終わるまで進路を変えてはならない。

This statement is FALSE

Explanation

False. A vehicle that has been caught up must not increase its speed; the rule says nothing about changing course. On a road without marked lanes, where there is not enough room on your right, you also pull to the left edge and let the other vehicle by.
