Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
On a two-lane road, an oncoming car drifts across the center line and comes toward you in your lane. What should you do?
Blue A meets oncoming silver B, which has crossed the center line into A’s lane. A clear right shoulder is visible.
Correct answer: Slow down, sound the horn, flash your lights, and move as far right as is safe
Why
Look early for an escape path on the right, such as a wide shoulder, and check it for people, parked cars and ditches. Reducing speed gives you more time to act and makes any impact less severe. The earlier you notice a car that drifts, the more choices you have.
