If driving at the speed limit and another car initiates a pass, what should you do?

A. Speed up to prevent the pass
B. Maintain the speed limit
C. Speed up to challenge the other driver
D. Slow down and allow the other car to pass

The correct answer is: D. Slow down and allow the other car to pass

The correct action is to slow down and allow the other car to pass. This is important for several reasons. First, by easing off the accelerator, you create a safer environment for the other driver to complete their maneuver safely. It helps ensure that there’s enough space and time for both vehicles, reducing the chance of a collision. Additionally, maintaining control of your own vehicle while facilitating the passage of another promotes overall road safety. Aggressively trying to maintain your speed or accelerating could lead to dangerous situations, which is why allowing the other car to pass is the safest and most courteous option. This approach reflects good driving etiquette and contributes to a positive driving culture on the road.
