Why is weaving between lanes to pass several vehicles in succession unsafe?
A blue car is in the leftmost of three same-direction expressway lanes.
Correct answer: Each lane change creates a new chance of a conflict.
Why
Avoid repeated zigzag passing. Plan necessary lane changes, signal and check traffic and the blind spot each time. Change one lane at a time, establish your course, then reassess before another change. Québec also prohibits making several successive passes in a zigzag pattern.
