  2. Keep up with traffic in your own lane, even if it passes the right lane
  3. Use the hard shoulder to get ahead
  4. Weave between lanes to move faster
Show answer

Correct answer: Keep up with traffic in your own lane, even if it passes the right lane

In congestion you may keep pace with your lane even if you pass slower traffic on the right. Do not weave between lanes.
