When driving in the left lane of a multi-lane road, what should you do when another car approaches from behind?

Speed up
Move to the center lane, if available
Continue to stay in the left lane
Stay as close to the center line as possible

The correct answer is: Move to the center lane, if available

When driving in the left lane of a multi-lane road, it is important to stay aware of your surroundings and be prepared to adjust your position as needed. While it may seem tempting to speed up when another car approaches from behind, this can actually create a dangerous situation and lead to collisions. The best course of action is to move to the center lane, if available, to allow the other vehicle to pass safely. Continuing to stay in the left lane can cause congestion and may be seen as hogging the lane, while staying close to the center line can also be dangerous as it may not provide enough space for another vehicle to safely pass.
