Explanation
When another vehicle starts to pass you, stay in your lane and do not increase your speed. Instead, maintain your current speed or slow down slightly to make the passing maneuver safer and easier. If you see an oncoming vehicle while you are being passed, slowing down further helps the other driver return to the lane safely. Never speed up or try to block a vehicle that is trying to pass you.
