Explanation
If you see a vehicle coming toward you in your lane, immediately sound your horn to alert the other driver. Slow down right away and do everything possible to avoid a collision. Steer to the right side of the road, and if necessary, drive off the roadway to avoid the oncoming vehicle.
Do not swerve left into the other lane. The oncoming driver may realize their mistake and try to return to their lane, putting you directly in their path.
