When a motorcycle is passing you, what should you do?

Change lanes to avoid it
Reduce your speed significantly
Maintain your lane position and speed
Pull over to the side of the road

The correct answer is: Maintain your lane position and speed

When a motorcycle is passing you, maintaining your lane position and speed is the safest and most appropriate action to take. Motorcyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers of other vehicles. By holding your lane and speed, you avoid creating confusion or dangerous situations. Changing lanes or pulling over can lead to unpredictable movements that may put both you and the motorcyclist at risk, particularly if they are unaware of your intentions. Reducing speed significantly might also disrupt the flow of traffic, leading to potential collisions. Therefore, keeping your lane and maintaining speed allows for a predictable and safe passage for the motorcycle and follows proper road etiquette.
