What is a basic driving courtesy?

Give way to other drivers
Refuse to let other drivers pass
Tailgate other drivers
Drive aggressively

The correct answer is: Give way to other drivers

Driving courtesy means exhibiting good manners and consideration towards other drivers on the road. Option B is incorrect because it goes against the concept of courtesy by deliberately not letting other drivers pass. Option C is also incorrect because tailgating is a form of aggressive and dangerous driving behavior. Option D, driving aggressively, is the opposite of courtesy and can lead to accidents and traffic violations. Therefore, option A, giving way to other drivers, is the correct basic driving courtesy. This means being willing to yield or move aside to let other vehicles pass, especially in situations where the other driver is in a hurry or needs to merge or change lanes.
