Question: When you are being overtaken, you should:
Answer options:
- Speed up ✅ Maintain or slightly reduce speed and stay in your lane
- Move onto the shoulder
- Brake hard
Correct answer: Maintain or slightly reduce speed and stay in your lane
Explanation: Under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, when another vehicle passes you, you must let them pass by staying in your lane and not speeding up. Maintaining or slightly reducing your speed ensures the overtaking driver can complete the maneuver safely and smoothly. Speeding up is illegal and dangerous, while braking suddenly or pulling onto the shoulder risks a loss of control or a rear-end collision. On the G1 exam, remember that predictability and cooperation are key MTO defensive driving principles, making questions about safe passing common on the rules section of the test.
