How should you respond when the driver behind you wants to pass?

  1. Speed up to prevent them from passing

  2. Slow down to create room in front of your vehicle

  3. Maintain your current speed

  4. Move to the left lane to let them pass

The correct answer is: Speed up to prevent them from passing

When the driver behind you wants to pass, the safest and most responsible way to respond is to maintain your current speed. Speeding up to prevent them from passing can lead to aggressive driving behavior and potentially dangerous situations on the road. Slowing down to create room in front of your vehicle is also not a recommended option as it can disrupt the flow of traffic. Moving to the left lane to let them pass is not ideal since it might involve unnecessary lane changes and could potentially cause confusion for other drivers on the road. Therefore, by maintaining your current speed, you allow the other driver to pass you safely when it is safe to do so.
