When being passed by another vehicle, where should you position yourself in your lane?

Positioning yourself in the center of your lane when being passed by another vehicle is the safest approach. This position provides the greatest distance from the passing vehicle, reducing the risk of a collision. It also ensures that you have enough space to maneuver if necessary. Being in the center allows better visibility for both you and the other driver, making it easier to react to any potential hazards.

Choosing the left or right side of the lane could bring you closer to the passing vehicle, potentially resulting in a dangerous situation if the other driver misjudges the passing distance. Positioning too close to the curb could also pose risks, especially if there are roadside obstacles or the possibility of pedestrians unexpectedly entering the roadway. By staying centered, you maintain control and increase your safety during the overtaking process.
