How should you respond to an impatient driver pressuring you to speed?

• A. Speed up to satisfy them.
• B. Maintain safe speed and lane position; let them pass if safe.
• C. Move into someone else's lane.
• D. Stop in the middle of the road.

Answer: (B)

Staying in control and not letting pressure from another driver push you into unsafe behavior is the key idea. The safest move is to keep your speed at a safe, steady level and hold your lane so you’re not reacting to their pressure. If it’s safe to do so, let the impatient driver pass by maintaining your position and giving them space. This reduces the risk of a crash from sudden moves, tailgating, or unsafe lane changes. Avoid speeding up, weaving, or stopping in the road, as those actions increase danger for everyone.
