If you are in another driver's blind spot, which action helps improve safety?

• A. Move closer to the driver
• B. Speed up or drop back to become more visible
• C. Brake suddenly
• D. Honk to alert the driver

Answer: (B)

Being seen by other drivers is crucial for safety; when you’re in someone else’s blind spot, they may not notice you. The safest move is to adjust your position so you’re clearly visible again, which usually means either speeding up or slowing down to exit that blind spot. This change helps the driver see you in their mirrors and react in time, reducing the chance of a lane change or merge that could lead to a collision. Attempts to stay in or move into the blind spot are risky: moving closer makes you harder to see, while braking suddenly or honking can surprise the other driver and create a dangerous situation. Keep a steady speed, signal early, and stay out of others’ blind spots to maintain safer traffic flow.
