What is the correct action to take when a truck wants to pass you?

When a truck wants to pass you, the best action to take is to slow down to shorten the time required for the truck to complete the maneuver safely. Trucks are larger and take longer to pass than smaller vehicles, so by reducing your speed, you help facilitate a smooth and safe passing experience. This can prevent potential hazards, as it allows the truck to clear your lane more quickly while giving them ample space to pass without being too close to your vehicle.

Staying at a steady speed could prolong the passing process, which may create a riskier situation if the truck has to merge back into your lane. On the other hand, speeding up could further complicate the situation and might force the truck driver to make an unsafe maneuver if they misjudge the available distance. Moving to the shoulder of the road is not typically necessary or advisable in this scenario, as it could create additional risks and confusion on the roadway.
