You’re driving on a dual carriageway and intend to overtake the vehicle ahead. What should you do if there’s a car approaching quickly behind you in the right-hand lane?

Explanation: You should allow the faster-moving vehicle to overtake safely. If you pull out to overtake at this time, you'll cause the car behind to brake sharply. Don't use the size of your vehicle to intimidate. Be professional and show consideration to other road users.
