You drive at 60 mph in the left lane of a four-lane interstate with a 65 mph limit. Several cars are lined up behind you, and the right lane is clear. What should you do?
A leads a line of cars in the left lane of its interstate roadway. The right lane is empty, and the card states A’s speed of 60 mph and a 65 mph limit.
Correct answer: Signal and move to the right lane, because the left lane is for passing.
Why
Drivers who stay in the left lane force others to weave or pass on the right, which leads to crashes. New Hampshire law requires slower traffic to use the right-hand lane. Use the left lane to pass, then signal and return to the right.
