Which action is advised when another vehicle attempts to share your lane?

  1. Speed up to avoid contact

  2. Brake abruptly

  3. Maintain your lane position and stay calm

  4. Move into oncoming traffic

The correct answer is: Maintain your lane position and stay calm

Maintaining your lane position and staying calm is the advised action when another vehicle attempts to share your lane. This approach is critical for safety as it allows you to keep control of your motorcycle. By remaining steady in your position, you can better assess the situation and decide on the safest response. Sudden movements can lead to loss of control or create an even more dangerous scenario. In situations where another vehicle is encroaching on your lane, it is important not to panic. Staying calm enables you to react with good judgment rather than resorting to potentially reckless actions. For example, if you were to speed up or brake abruptly, you could inadvertently escalate the risk of a collision. Likewise, moving into oncoming traffic would place you and others in grave danger and is not a viable or safe option.
