  2. Brake hard to teach him a lesson.
  3. Pull over to the right and let him pass.
  4. Move to the left and slow down.

Correct answer: Pull over to the right and let him pass.

Do not give in to pressure from an impatient driver. Evaluate the risk yourself, and let the driver pass when it is safe.
