Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
On a multilane road, you want to move into the lane on your left. No vehicle is beside you in that lane, but your mirror shows a car in that lane coming up fast from behind. What should you do?
A occupies the right lane; B approaches quickly from behind in the adjacent left lane. No lane-change path appears.
Correct answer: Stay in your lane until the car passes and the space behind is clear
Why
Many lane-change crashes happen because a driver checks only the space beside the car. Judge the speed of vehicles that come from behind, and check ahead for vehicles that slow down. Then signal, check your blind spot and move smoothly.
