On a highway, you realize you are lingering in another driver’s blind spot. What is the safest response when traffic allows?
Correct answer: Adjust your position safely so you are out of the blind spot.
Why
Avoid lingering in another driver’s blind spot. When traffic allows, adjust your position safely, within the speed limit and without cutting into another vehicle’s space. Keep room around your vehicle and watch for lane changes. This is different from checking your own blind spot before moving.
