The driver of a car being passed should _________ until the pass is complete.

• A. increase speed
• B. not increase speed
• C. move to the left
• D. stop

Answer: (B)

When another driver is passing you, the safe approach is to keep your speed steady and stay in your lane until the pass is fully completed. If you increase your speed, you make the overtaking driver’s job harder and raise the risk of a misjudgment or collision. If you slow down, you also hinder the pass and could create a dangerous situation behind or beside you. By maintaining your current speed and lane position, you give the other driver the space and time to complete the maneuver safely, and you can resume normal driving once they have moved back into your lane.
