What if you are a slow vessel in a traffic lane

Say you are using the traffic lane and motoring, and a much bigger and faster ship is overtaking. How do you give way while staying in the lane? Being a small vessel, can you generally just move outside the lane to avoid?

Yes always be checking for traffic and stay out of commercial lanes when possible. Cross at right angles to reduce time in the lane.
