Question 5591
If a driver begins to pass another vehicle and circumstances arise that make it difficult to complete the maneuver...
- the driver of the vehicle being passed is required to move over onto the shoulder.
- they must accelerate and finish the maneuver, even if it creates a dangerous situation.
- they must return to their lane and warn the drivers traveling behind them.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: they must return to their lane and warn the drivers traveling behind them.
If something happens after you start passing that makes it difficult to finish safely, you must quickly reduce your speed, return to your lane, and use your turn signal to warn drivers behind you. Speeding up to finish at all costs creates more danger. The driver being passed does not have to move onto the shoulder, but must help you return to your lane.
