If you are being passed on the left by another vehicle, which lane position should you ride in?

Riding in the center lane position is the safest choice when being passed on the left by another vehicle. This position allows you to maintain a safe distance from the left-hand edge of your lane, providing some buffer zone between you and the passing vehicle. It helps reduce the wind turbulence from the other vehicle, which can make you feel more stable and in control.

Additionally, the center lane position keeps you visible to other drivers and gives you more room to maneuver should the need arise. If a situation were to occur where the passing vehicle is too close or if there were any obstacles from the left side, the center position gives you more space to react safely.

Choosing a position too far to the left or right can lead to decreased visibility and stability, making it more challenging to respond to sudden changes in traffic or road conditions. Being centrally located optimizes your safety while still allowing you to be aware of your surroundings.
