When a car cuts in front of you, creating a hazard, what is the recommended action to avoid the hazard?

Speed up to maintain distance
Slam on the brakes
Honk and stay close behind
Adjust speed or lane position to create space cushion

The correct answer is: Adjust speed or lane position to create space cushion

When a car cuts in front of you, it is important to create a space cushion to avoid a potential hazard. Speeding up to maintain distance or slamming on the brakes can be dangerous and increase the risk of a collision. Honking and staying close behind the car can also lead to an accident as it can startle the other driver or cause them to feel pressured to drive faster. Adjusting your speed or lane position to create a space cushion is the best option as it allows you to maintain a safe distance and potentially avoid a collision.
