Why should you avoid traveling alongside other vehicles for long stretches?
- A.It uses more fuel because of crosswinds
- B.Another driver may drift into your lane, and you would have no room to move over or escape
- C.It is illegal in most states
- D.It makes your mirrors harder to use
Correct answer
B. Another driver may drift into your lane, and you would have no room to move over or escape
Why
Running beside another vehicle boxes you in: if that driver swerves or a hazard appears, you have nowhere to go. Adjust speed so you travel in open space whenever traffic allows.
