Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
You are driving on a two-lane highway when a car starts to pass you on the left. There is no emergency. What should you do?
B is passing A on the left on a two-lane highway. A remains in its right-hand lane.
Correct answer: Stay in your lane and hold your speed until the car has passed.
Why
A steady speed helps the passing driver judge the gap. If the passing driver has misjudged oncoming traffic and there is an emergency, you may change your speed or leave the road to avoid a crash. Otherwise, let the pass finish, and keep a safe following gap once the car is back in front of you.
