If you are being tailgated, you should NOT

Correct answer

  • move into the right lane.
  • let the tailgater pass.
  • increase your speed.

Explanation

If you are being tailgated, move into the right lane and reduce your speed. Encourage the tailgater to pass you. You will be safer with the tailgater in front of you rather than right behind you. Don't try to increase your speed to appease or outdistance the tailgater. No speed is too fast for some tailgaters.
