Turns, lanes and passingQuestion 144 of 296

A faster vehicle starts to pass you on the left. What must you do?

  1. Speed up so that the other driver passes faster
  2. Keep your speed the same, or slow down, until the pass is done
  3. Speed up if the other driver uses the horn
  4. Move to the centre of the road to give a signal
Show answer

Correct answer: Keep your speed the same, or slow down, until the pass is done

Never speed up while a vehicle passes you. If you can, move to the right to give way. Do not increase speed until the pass is complete or the other driver stops it.
