A vehicle suddenly cuts in front of you, creating a hazard. What should you do first?

If a vehicle merges in front of you too closely, take your foot off of the accelerator. This will create space between you and the vehicle ahead without requiring you to slam on your brakes or swerve into another lane.

• Honk and step on the brake firmly.
• Take your foot off the gas pedal.
• Swerve into the lane next to you.
