When being passed by other vehicles, what is the recommended action?

When being passed by other vehicles, the recommended action is to slow down and move to the right as far as safely possible. This approach enhances safety for everyone on the road.

By reducing your speed, you allow the passing vehicle to maneuver more easily around you. Moving to the right as much as safely possible provides the passing driver with ample space and reduces the likelihood of a collision. This is particularly important in circumstances where the passing occurs in a lane adjacent to yours, as it mitigates the risks associated with close proximity.

Maintaining a safe distance while allowing other vehicles to pass is a critical aspect of defensive driving. It demonstrates awareness and consideration for other road users, promoting a safer driving environment overall.
