If you are driving in another driver's blind spot, what should you do?

When you find yourself in another driver's blind spot, the safest and most considerate action is to either move forward or drop back so that the other driver can see you. This approach helps to ensure both your safety and that of the other driver. By changing your position, you make it easier for them to spot you in their mirrors, reducing the risk of a collision. Making your presence known in this way is essential, as staying in a blind spot can lead to dangerous situations if the other driver is unaware of your presence and decides to change lanes.

Maintaining a steady pace does not address the issue of visibility; the other driver may not see you, which increases the risk of an accident. Staying in the driver’s blind spot only elevates the danger, as it can mislead them into believing the lane is clear when it is not. Honking might alert the driver to your presence, but it does not ensure that they can safely change lanes, and might also startle them, leading to erratic driving behavior. Thus, the best option is to alter your position to enhance visibility and ensure safe driving conditions for everyone on the road.
