Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
Another driver is overtaking you on the interstate. What should you do with your speed?
Correct answer: Keep a steady lawful speed; do not speed up.
Why
Keep a predictable lawful speed and let the overtaking vehicle complete the maneuver without competition. Speeding up closes the space that the passing driver needs to return safely. A steady lawful pace makes your movement predictable; do not race the other vehicle or block its return.
