Question: A driver behind you wants to pass. You should:
Answer options:
- Speed up ✅ Stay to the right and maintain or reduce your speed
- Block them
- Brake hard
Correct answer: Stay to the right and maintain or reduce your speed
Explanation: Under Québec’s Highway Safety Code, when another driver attempts to pass, safety regulations require you to steer to the right and maintain or slightly reduce your speed. This rule ensures the passing vehicle can complete the maneuver swiftly and safely. Speeding up or actively blocking the passing vehicle is highly dangerous and illegal, while braking hard risks a rear-end collision. For the SAAQ exam, remember that co-operative driving and helping others pass safely is a core defensive driving principle tested to prevent head-on collisions on two-lane roads.
