- D. Changing into a lane ahead of another vehicle without adequate clearance, forcing them to brake or swerve
Show answer
D. Changing into a lane ahead of another vehicle without adequate clearance, forcing them to brake or swerve — Cutting off occurs when you move in front of a vehicle with insufficient clearance, forcing them to brake hard. Beyond being aggressive and potentially illegal, it creates a sudden stop hazard for vehicles behind the cut-off driver.
