Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
On a two-lane road, a car starts to pass you on the left. Before it is past, you see an oncoming truck far ahead. What should you do?
B is passing A in the opposing lane; truck C approaches from far ahead.
Correct answer: Keep right, and slow down a little so that the car can move in ahead
Why
The manual says that you should keep a steady speed or slow down when another vehicle passes you. A driver who speeds up during a pass makes the pass longer and more dangerous for everyone. The passing driver is still responsible for a safe pass, but your help can prevent a head-on crash.
