You are traveling on a narrow two-lane road and are approaching a child on his bike on the right. A line of oncoming vehicles following a slow moving truck is approaching in the oncoming lane. you flash your lights, tap your horn, and

• A. Slow down and move closer to the truck
• B. Slow down and accelerate to pass
• C. Speed up to pass quickly
• D. Turn away to the left

Answer: (A)

When you’re on a narrow two-lane road and a cyclist is on the right with a line of oncoming traffic behind a slow truck, the safest move is to slow down and stay in your lane, keeping as close as possible to the slow truck. Slowing gives you more time to react if the cyclist moves unexpectedly, and staying near the truck keeps you in your lane rather than drifting into the oncoming lane. This also avoids squeezing into the space between opposing vehicles, which could create a head-on risk for everyone. Flashing lights and a horn are warnings to the cyclist, but attempting to speed up to pass or turning left would push you into traffic that’s coming from the opposite direction. So, the prudent action is to reduce speed and position beside the truck, waiting for a safe opportunity to pass only when the road is clear.
