If you intend to pass a vehicle that may encroach on your lane, what should you do?

Rev your engine
Flash your headlights
Beep your horn
Change your speed

The correct answer is: Beep your horn

In situations where you intend to pass a vehicle that may encroach on your lane, changing your speed is the most appropriate action to take. Adjusting your speed allows you to create a safe buffer zone, providing you with more time and space to maneuver if the other vehicle does not maintain its lane. By either speeding up to clear the vehicle quickly or slowing down to avoid potential collisions, you enhance your safety and increase the safety of others on the road. This method reinforces the importance of maintaining control of your motorcycle and being aware of your surroundings, thereby reducing the risk of an accident. Revving your engine, flashing your headlights, or beeping your horn might not effectively communicate your presence to the other driver, and could also create confusion or distraction rather than ensuring a safe passage. Focusing instead on changing speed while closely observing the actions of the vehicle can help you navigate safely past the encroaching vehicle.
