Explanation
When a driver behind you wants to pass, avoid accelerating and maintain your lane position. Instead, slow down to create enough space for the other vehicle to pass safely. Increasing your speed or changing lanes while being passed could cause a collision. Remember, when being passed by another vehicle, yield to the other vehicle and don't speed up.
