24. When being passed, do not move into the portion of the lane farthest from the passing vehicle because:

The passing vehicle may re-enter your lane too early.

The portion of the lane nearest the passing vehicle is better.

You are more likely to experience a wind blast from the passing vehicle on the far side of the lane.

When being passed, you should not ride on the side of your lane that is farthest from the passing vehicle. Doing so may tempt the driver to return to your lane before there is actually room for them to do so safely.

Increase your speed.

Reduce your speed.

Take advantage of vehicles ahead of you to provide clues about the upcoming road. Their headlights may help to illuminate the road ahead and their taillights will bounce up and down if the vehicle is being driven over bumps on the road.
