If another vehicle suddenly cuts in front of you, what is the recommended response?

Honk loudly to alert them and continue.

Speed up to close the gap immediately.

Brake hard and swerve to avoid.

Reduce speed, increase following distance, and avoid abrupt braking.

When another vehicle cuts in, the safest approach is to give yourself more space and slow down smoothly. Reducing your speed and increasing the following distance provides time to react if the other driver brakes or changes lanes again, and it lowers the risk of a rear-end collision. Abrupt braking or swerving can surprise the driver behind you or cause you to lose control, while speeding up to close the gap creates more danger. Honking doesn’t address the situation and can startle other drivers. So ease off the accelerator, create extra space, and avoid sudden braking to stay in control.
