You are driving in the middle lane of an expressway, and a car begins to pass you on the right. What should you do?

Continue driving in the middle lane.
Merge into the right lane.
Slow down and merge into the left lane.
None of the above.
Explanation

If you're in the middle lane of a three-lane expressway, other drivers may legally pass you on the right. You are not required to change lanes to accommodate the maneuver. Stay in your lane and maintain a steady speed - do not speed up, brake suddenly, or make any abrupt movements that could cause a collision. While passing on the right is legal in many states on multi-lane roads, it can be risky because the driver being passed may not expect it. Always be cautious and use signals when passing.
