What should you do if another driver tailgates your vehicle?

Correct answer

  • Change lanes to allow the tailgater to pass.
  • Do not allow the tailgater to pass you.
  • Increase your speed to get away from the tailgater.

Explanation

Tailgating is a trait of aggressive driving. If another driver tailgates you, change lanes and let the driver pass. It's safer to have the tailgater in front of you than right behind you. Don't increase your speed in an attempt to appease or outdistance the tailgater. No speed is too fast for some tailgaters.
