You’re driving in traffic at the speed limit for the road. What should you do if the driver behind is trying to overtake?

A: Move closer to the car ahead, so the driver behind has no room to overtake

B: Wave the driver behind to overtake when it's safe

C: Keep a steady course and allow the driver behind to overtake

D: Accelerate to get away from the driver behind

Hint

Keep a steady course to give the driver behind an opportunity to overtake safely. If necessary, slow down. Reacting incorrectly to another driver’s impatience can lead to danger.
