Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
A vehicle is coming toward you head-on in your lane. What response does the handbook recommend?
Correct answer: Slow down, move right as safely possible and sound the horn.
Why
Slow down and pull to the right while maintaining control. Sound the horn to alert the other driver. Choose the safest available space rather than assuming the other driver will correct in time; no maneuver guarantees an escape in every road situation.
