If you spot an oncoming vehicle in your lane, what should you do?

Correct answer

  • (a) Slow down and sound your horn.
  • (b) Pull as far to the right as you safely can.
  • (c) Move into the left lane.

Explanation

If there is an oncoming vehicle in your lane, you must act quickly to avoid a head-on collision. Sound a sharp blast on your horn to warn the other driver. Slow down and steer right toward the shoulder or curb. Do not steer left; the other driver may try to steer back into the proper lane. If necessary, drive completely off the road if necessary to avoid a head-on collision. Head-on collisions are often fatal.
