How should a driver respond if an oncoming vehicle begins drifting into their traffic lane?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Sound horn, flash lights, brake firmly, and steer right toward shoulder
- Step 1: Head-on collision avoidance. Step 2. Alert the driver with horn and flashers, brake hard, and steer right toward the verge; never swerve left into their original lane. Answer: Sound horn, flash lights, brake firmly, and steer right toward shoulder. Why not the others: Swerving left causes head-on crash if they suddenly correct; accelerating increases crash force; releasing wheel guarantees death.
