If you are obstructing traffic and want to allow vehicles behind you to pass, what should you do?

When you find yourself obstructing traffic and wish to allow vehicles behind you to pass, pulling over to the left and stopping is the safest and most appropriate action. This method provides a clear and effective way to ensure that faster-moving traffic can safely get around you.

By pulling over to the left, you create a space for the vehicles behind you to pass without having to make risky maneuvers in oncoming traffic or within the same lane. Stopping at that point helps to communicate to the drivers behind that they can proceed safely, thus enhancing the overall flow of traffic and minimizing the risk of accidents.

Continuing to drive while obstructing traffic adds to the congestion and can lead to frustration for other drivers. Increasing your speed is not advisable as it could create dangerous situations if you are not able to speed up safely, and signaling without providing a clear path does not assist drivers in passing you effectively.
