You are driving in the right lane of a four-lane, undivided road and encounter a stopped car ahead in your lane with no room to stop. What is the best action to take?

In a situation where you are driving in the right lane of a four-lane, undivided road and encounter a stopped car ahead with no space to stop safely, steering to the right is the most appropriate action. This maneuver allows you to avoid a potential collision with the stopped vehicle while maintaining control of your own vehicle.

Steering to the right helps you navigate around the obstacle safely, assuming there is sufficient space available on the shoulder or in a right-side lane. This option prioritizes both safety and the flow of traffic, as long as the right side is clear.

Other actions may not offer the same level of response. For instance, honking your horn and signaling may alert other drivers but does not solve the immediate problem of needing to avoid the stopped car. Applying your brakes forcefully can lead to a loss of control, especially if the braking force is too strong, and could result in rear-end collisions. Steering to the left, while also potentially viable if the left lane is clear, may not always be a safe option due to incoming traffic in that lane, making rightward maneuvering a safer choice when possible.
