When someone is passing you on a two-lane highway, what should you do?

Accelerate to maintain speed
Ignore it and stay in your lane
Move slightly to the right of your lane
Change lanes immediately

The correct answer is: Move slightly to the right of your lane

When a vehicle is passing you on a two-lane highway, the best action is to move slightly to the right of your lane. This maneuver allows for a safer passing environment for the other driver and ensures that you are giving them adequate space to complete the maneuver. Shifting slightly right helps maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the one passing, reducing the risk of potential collisions. Maintaining a proper distance in your lane serves to alert the other driver that they have enough space to overtake you successfully. This action also indicates that you are aware of your surroundings and are being considerate of other drivers on the road. In contrast, accelerating to maintain speed could create tension and increase the likelihood of an unsafe situation, as it would make it harder for the other driver to pass. Ignoring the passing vehicle and staying in your lane does not account for the situation and can lead to dangerous encounters. Changing lanes immediately without proper signaling or ensuring that the lane is clear can lead to confusion and accidents.
