What must you do if you are being passed by on a two lane highway?

  1. Speed up

  2. Move into the center lane

  3. Slow down

  4. Make eye contact with the other driver

The correct answer is: Slow down

When being passed on a two lane highway, it is important to maintain your speed and position in the lane. This is why the correct answer is to slow down. Speeding up would make it difficult for the other driver to safely pass you, and moving into the center lane is not necessary as you both should be maintaining your lane position. Making eye contact with the other driver is also not necessary and can be distracting, potentially causing an accident. Therefore, slowing down is the safest and most appropriate course of action when being passed on a two lane highway.
