Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, to make it easier for the passing vehicle to return to the right lane if the pass is dangerous.
Yes. If a hazard arises while someone is passing you, you must slow down so they can finish and return to their lane ahead of you. In the image, the red passenger car is passing in the oncoming lane and a white van is approaching, so the gray car brakes to let the red car move back in ahead. This obligation is yours, not the oncoming driver's.
