What should you do if the vehicle behind you wishes to pass?

The correct answer is: 2. Drive on the left side, leaving space on the right for them to overtake.

In New Zealand, drivers must always keep to the left side of the road, especially when other vehicles are attempting to overtake. This is because New Zealand follows the principle of left-side driving, and to ensure the safety of all road users, it is necessary to share the road in an orderly manner. When you notice a vehicle behind you wanting to overtake, the safest and most compliant action is to move as far left as possible, leaving enough space for it to pass, rather than speeding up or maintaining your speed for the other driver to decide. This approach not only reduces the potential risk of collisions but also promotes good traffic flow on the road.
