 If you observe an impaired driver, a safe behavior for you would be to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle and avoid confrontation. It's important not to attempt to overtake or pass the vehicle, as unpredictable driving movements from the impaired driver could lead to a collision. Instead, you should:

1. Stay behind the impaired driver at a safe distance to minimize the risk of an accident. 2. Note the license plate number, the car model, color, and any other distinguishing features, if it's safe to do so without getting too close. 3. Pull over to a safe location and call emergency services to report the impaired driver. Provide them with all the details you've noted about the vehicle and the nature of the impairment you've observed. 4. Follow any instructions given by the authorities, which may include continuing your route while staying clear of the impaired driver.

Remember, do not try to personally intervene or stop the impaired driver yourself, as this could result in harm to you or others on the road. Law enforcement is trained to handle such situations and should be the one to deal with the impaired driver.
