There are two traffic lanes in your direction. You are driving in the left lane and many vehicles are passing you on the right, and the driver behind you wishes to drive faster. You should:
|
Drive onto the left shoulder to let the other driver pass.
|
|
|
Speed up to match the pace of the vehicles passing you.
|
|
|
Move over into the right lane when safe to do so.

Explanation
Staying in the left lane when others wish to drive faster can cause congestion and frustrate other drivers. If you're driving in the left lane and vehicles are passing you on the right, it's a sign that you're driving slower than the flow of traffic. In this situation, you should move to the right lane when it is safe to allow faster-moving vehicles to pass.
