Passing target: 80% (24/30)
You drive on a two-lane road with one lane in each direction. A driver behind you follows very closely. What is the safest way to deal with this driver?
B follows close behind A on a two-lane road. The opposing lane is empty and a broken yellow center line marks a legal passing section.
Correct answer: When the road ahead is clear and passing is legal, slowly reduce speed so the driver can pass.
Why
A tailgater cannot stop in time if you brake suddenly. Keep extra space in front of your car so that you can slow down gradually, and give the driver a chance to pass. On a road with a right lane, move over to the right. A steady speed and early signals before you slow down or turn also help the driver behind you keep a safe distance.
