The main idea is to stay out of the other driver’s blind spots and be visible to them. When you’re riding in someone else’s blind spot, they can’t see you in their mirrors, so a lane change or sudden maneuver could surprise you and cause a collision. The best move is to adjust your position so you’re visible again—either accelerate to pass through the blind spot quickly or drop back so you’re back in their line of sight. By becoming visible, you give the other driver a clear cue to anticipate your presence. Holding your current speed keeps you hidden in that blind spot and increases risk, while simply slowing or lingering there doesn’t reliably restore visibility.
