Practice question

If a driver behind you repeatedly flashes his/her headlights, you should

  1. Get out of the way
  2. Mirror-check
  3. Speed up to create distance
  4. Stop abruptly

Answer: A — Get out of the way

When someone behind you flashes their headlights, it’s a cue that you’re holding up faster traffic. The safest move is to get out of the way by signaling and moving to the right or pulling over when it’s safe so they can pass. This reduces the risk of a tailgating crash and keeps traffic flowing smoothly. Avoid speeding up or braking abruptly to “test” the signal; those actions can create a dangerous situation and won’t help the situation.
