When a motorist fails to yield, which action should you take after maintaining distance?

Explanation:
Handling a driver who doesn’t yield safely is about keeping everyone onboard safe. After you’ve already maintained a safe following distance, the right move is to continue driving with extra caution and, if it seems appropriate, report the incident to a supervisor. Pursuing the other vehicle or honking aggressively can escalate the situation and increase danger for you and the passengers. Stopping in the middle of the road is hazardous and disrupts traffic flow. If you can do so safely, note details like the vehicle’s description and location and share them with your supervisor so it can be handled through the proper channel.
