What should you do if another driver tries to change lanes into your space?

When another driver attempts to change lanes into your space, the most effective course of action is to either slow down or speed up to avoid a collision. This strategy allows you to create additional space and prevent an accident. By adjusting your speed, you reduce the risk of a dangerous encounter, as staying in your lane and maintaining speed can lead to a higher likelihood of a collision if the other driver does not see you or misjudges the distance.

Maintaining speed and position may not be safe if there’s a clear risk that the other driver will not yield. While honking your horn could alert the other driver, it does not eliminate the risk of collision. Changing lanes yourself may not be the best option if that would place you in a more hazardous situation. Therefore, adjusting your speed is a proactive measure to ensure your safety and that of others on the road.
