When it is safe to pass, what should you do?

• A. Do not change lanes and stay in position
• B. Move into the left lane and slow down
• C. Move into the left lane and accelerate, selecting a lane position that doesn't crowd the vehicle you are trying to pass and provides space to avoid hazards
• D. Move into the right lane and accelerate

Answer: (D)

When passing, do it in the left lane and speed up enough to clear the vehicle you’re overtaking. You should choose a lane position that keeps a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and leaves room to steer around any hazards. After you’ve passed, move back to the right lane only when you can do so safely and you can see the front of the vehicle you passed in your rear-view mirror or there’s a clear gap. This keeps traffic flowing smoothly and avoids cutting in too tightly or forcing other vehicles to brake.
