Correct answer

  • pull to the left and slow down.
  • keep your steering wheel straight.
  • pull to the right and slow down.

Explanation

If you see an oncoming car in your lane, pull to the right, brake to slow down, and sound a sharp warning blast on your horn. At night, flash your lights. This may wake up the drowsy or inattentive driver approaching you. Don't move into the left lane; the driver of the oncoming vehicle might wake up and swing back into the path of your car. Prepare to drive entirely off the roadway to the right if necessary to avoid a head-on collision. Head-on collisions are often fatal.
