What should you do if you encounter a vehicle driving the wrong way on a one-way street?

When encountering a vehicle driving the wrong way on a one-way street, the safest and most responsible action is to slow down, give way, and, if necessary, safely maneuver around the vehicle. This approach prioritizes safety for all road users, including yourself, the wrong-way driver, and other vehicles that may be trying to navigate the situation.

Slowing down allows you to assess the scenario and make informed decisions about how to proceed. If a wrong-way vehicle is approaching, it should be treated as a potential immediate hazard. Giving way ensures that you do not inadvertently increase the risk of a collision, allowing the wrong-way driver to pass or to correct their course if possible.

Maneuvering safely means paying attention to surrounding traffic, providing plenty of space, and indicating your intentions clearly to other drivers. This approach reduces the likelihood of a severe accident and encourages others to act responsibly as well.
