On a two-lane road, a car behind you pulls into the oncoming lane to pass you. What should you do?
B has moved into the opposing lane to pass A on a two-lane road. A remains in the right-hand lane, ahead of B.
Correct answer: Stay in your lane and keep a steady speed until the car has passed.
Why
A passing driver needs a predictable gap to return to. Speeding up can trap the passing car in the oncoming lane. New Hampshire law also requires the driver being passed to give way to the right when the passing driver sounds a horn.
