What should you do if you see clues that a vehicle may cross into your lane?

If you are traveling on a narrow road and another vehicle approaches you from the opposite direction, the safest strategy is to be patient. You should slow down or stop and let the approaching vehicle pass.

Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

Sideswipe crashes occur for several different reasons and may involve multiple vehicles or only one vehicle hitting a fixed object. They may result from intentional lane changes when a driver misjudges a gap in traffic or because vehicles are in a blind spot. Sideswipes also occur when a driver unintentionally crosses a lane line because they are tired or distracted. Additionally, sideswipes may occur because of a sudden evasive maneuver in response to a surprise event, such as a vehicle suddenly braking in front of the driver. Overall, most sideswipe crashes are caused by inattention, poor visual scanning, and merging improperly.
