California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

When another vehicle is passing your vehicle, what should you do?

Speed up Increase your following distance Make eye contact Slow down

Correct Answer:

Increase your following distance

Explanation:

When another vehicle is passing your vehicle, you should increase your following distance. This allows the passing vehicle enough space to merge back into your lane safely, without forcing them to cut you off or causing a potential collision. Speeding up is not recommended as it may lead to a dangerous and unnecessary race on the road. Making eye contact is not as effective as increasing your following distance, as the driver of the passing vehicle may not see you or may not interpret your eye contact correctly. Slowing down can also be dangerous, as it may confuse the other driver and make it difficult for them to predict your movements. It is always best to maintain a safe following distance and allow the passing vehicle to merge back into your lane smoothly.
