Explanation
If an oncoming vehicle is heading toward you in your lane, use your horn to get the driver’s attention and warn them of your presence. If a crash seems unavoidable, take evasive action to prevent a head-on collision. Move to the right, even if it means driving off the road, and steer away from oncoming traffic.
