A driver ahead of you is being passed by you on a two-lane road. When is it safe to return to the right lane?
- A.As soon as your front bumper is beside theirs
- B.Immediately after sounding the horn
- C.Before you can see them at all
- D.When you can see the vehicle you passed in your rear-view mirror
Correct answer
D. When you can see the vehicle you passed in your rear-view mirror
Why
Return only when you can see the passed vehicle in your rear-view mirror, which means there is a safe gap. Cutting back in too soon forces the other driver to brake.
