What should you do if another driver is signaling to overtake you?

When another driver is signaling to overtake you, the correct action is to check your surroundings and allow them to pass. This response prioritizes safety on the road. By checking your mirrors and your blind spots, you can ensure that it's safe to change your position slightly, if necessary, to create space for the overtaking vehicle.

Allowing a car to pass when it signals can help prevent potential accidents and ensures a smoother flow of traffic. It’s important to be courteous and accommodating to other drivers when they are attempting to overtake, especially on multi-lane roads. By doing this, you are contributing to a safer driving environment.

Other choices, such as speeding up or maintaining your speed, could create danger by not allowing enough room for the overtaking vehicle to safely pass. Conversely, changing lanes might not be appropriate if there isn’t enough space or if it could lead to other conflicts with traffic. Thus, the best response is to enhance safety by yielding the right of way to the overtaking driver when it is safe to do so.
