What should you do when driving on a narrow roadway and you are suddenly approached by a vehicle from the opposite direction?
- Honk and signal with your hands for the driver to return to his lane.
- Slow down and swerve as far to the right as possible, but don’t pull off the road.
- Correct answer: Slow down, move as far to the right as possible and, if necessary, pull off the road.
- Turn on your high beam and signal the other driver to return to his lane.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down, move as far to the right as possible and, if necessary, pull off the road.
On a narrow road, slowing down and keeping as far right as possible makes room for the oncoming vehicle to pass safely. If there is still not enough space, pulling off onto the shoulder prevents a head-on collision. Honking, hand signals or high beams create no extra space, and high beams can dazzle the other driver.
