What should you do if someone is tailgating you?

Correct answer

  • Speed up.
  • Call the police.
  • Slow down.

Explanation

If you are being tailgated, keep right, slow down, and encourage the driver behind you to pass. If this fails, pull over, stop, and let the tailgater pass. Don't increase your speed in an attempt to appease or outdistance the tailgater. No speed is too fast for some tailgaters.
