Ontario Bus Driver Knowledge Practice Test

When smaller, faster vehicles try to pass, you should...?

1. Speed up

2. Maintain your speed

3. Slow down and let them through

4. Honk your horn

The correct answer is: Slow down and let them through

It may be tempting to speed up when a smaller and faster vehicle tries to pass you, as it can be seen as a competition or a challenge to maintain your speed. However, this can be dangerous as it can create a situation where both vehicles are constantly trying to speed up, which can lead to accidents. Honking your horn is also not a suitable option as it can startle other drivers and potentially cause distractions. Maintaining your speed is also not the best option as it can hinder the other vehicle from passing safely. The safest and most responsible choice is to slow down and allow the smaller and faster vehicle to pass safely. This shows courtesy and promotes safe driving habits for everyone on the road.
