B is approaching head-on in A's lane. A has a clear, usable paved shoulder on the right. What response does ICBC recommend?
Blue A faces an oncoming vehicle B in A’s lane, with a clear paved shoulder to A’s right.
Correct answer: Slow down, use the horn and steer right to the shoulder
Why
Slow as much as possible while retaining control, sound the horn and steer to the clear right-side escape. ICBC warns against steering left because the oncoming driver may steer back toward that same space. The illustrated shoulder is usable; do not assume every shoulder is clear or safe.
