On a road with three lanes, if you are in the center lane and another driver is passing on both sides, what should you do?

• A. Move to the left lane
• B. Switch to the right lane
• C. Continue in the center lane
• D. Speed up

Answer: (B)

When drivers are passing you on both sides, the safer move is to switch to the right lane. This helps you avoid being squeezed between fast-moving vehicles in the left and right lanes and lets traffic pass you more predictably. Before changing lanes, check mirrors and blind spots, signal clearly, and only move when it’s safe for the right lane to be vacated by other vehicles. Staying in the center lane in that situation can make it harder for others to pass safely and increases the risk of side-swipe or sudden lane changes behind you. After merging safely into the right lane, maintain a steady speed and be ready to adjust back when it’s appropriate.
