If another vehicle is passing you on the left, what should you do?

Correct answer

  • Move into the left lane.
  • Increase your speed.
  • Sound your horn and increase your speed.

Explanation

In North Carolina, when you are being passed, you are required to help the other driver pass. If you are being passed on the left and the driver of the passing vehicle blows the horn, move to the right edge of your lane. Never increase your speed or try to block the other vehicle from passing you. If you fail to give way to the passing vehicle, you will be charged with a misdemeanor if a crash occurs resulting in bodily injury or property damage.
