Like the blue car in the picture, you are about to pass another vehicle. Which of these should you do?

Answer options

Why

Turning on your signal does not give you the right-of-way, and the driver you are passing may speed up or close the gap. Plan the pass so you can finish it safely without depending on anyone else's help.
