When another driver sounds their horn and starts to pass you while you're driving at the speed limit, what should you do?

When another driver sounds their horn and starts to pass, the appropriate response is to slow down and allow them to pass safely. This action acknowledges the other driver’s intent to maneuver around you, and by providing them with additional space and time to complete their pass, you are enhancing safety on the road. It reduces the potential for a collision, which can occur if both vehicles try to occupy the same space at the same time.

Slowing down allows you to create more distance between you and the passing vehicle, making it easier for them to pull ahead and re-enter the lane. Additionally, this response demonstrates courtesy and an understanding of the safe driving practices that involve sharing the road with others. Vehicle operators should always remain vigilant and responsive to the actions of others, especially in situations where overtaking is involved.
