On a two-lane road, an oncoming car drifts across the center line and comes toward you in your lane. What should you do?
Silver oncoming B has crossed into blue A’s lane. A remains in its original position; no evasion or stopping route is marked.
Correct answer: Slow down, move right, and use the horn and lights; leave the road on the right if you must
Why
A driver who drifts into your lane is often asleep, impaired or distracted. When that driver becomes alert, the usual reaction is to steer back to the right side of the road, which is your left. Watch for this danger at night and on curves.
