Correct answer: Behind that driver.
Answer options
- ABeside that driver, in the next lane
- BIn front of that driver, after you pass
- CBehind that driver Correct
Why
Stay well back from a driver who seems impaired, because that driver may weave or brake without warning. Do not try to pass or ride alongside; from behind you can keep the vehicle in view, react in time and, when it is safe, pull over and call 911.
