When being passed on a North Carolina road, what must the driver of the vehicle being overtaken do?
- Move to the right edge and never increase speed
- Accelerate to keep the other vehicle beside you
- Move left to block the passing vehicle
- Brake hard in the travel lane
Answer: Move to the right edge and never increase speed. When another driver is passing, the handbook requires the overtaken driver to help by moving to the right edge of the road and never increasing speed. Accelerating can prevent the passing maneuver and, if a crash causes injury or property damage, may lead to a misdemeanor. Moving left blocks the pass, while hard braking creates a new hazard. The practical cue is simple: give space on the right and hold or reduce speed. This duty applies when the passing driver signals with the horn and is working to complete the maneuver safely.
