A vehicle with a higher maximum speed caught up with me, so I held my speed until it had finished overtaking.

自分より最高速度が高い車に追いつかれたので、その車が追越しを終わるまで速度を上げずに走った。

This statement is TRUE

Explanation

True. A vehicle that has been caught up must not increase its speed until the overtaking is complete. Speeding up keeps the other driver on the wrong side of the road for longer.
