Rules of the RoadDifficulty: 2/5
You are driving on a single carriageway when a car moves out to overtake you. What should you do?
Explanation
The Highway Code Rule 168 states that when another driver is overtaking you, you should maintain a steady course and speed, and if necessary slow down slightly to let them pass. You must not speed up or drive unpredictably while they are overtaking, as this is dangerous. Once they pull back in, you should then drop back to re‑establish a safe following distance (at least a two‑second gap in good conditions).
