If you are being tailgated, what should you do?

Increase your speed
Move to the center lane
Stop and let them pass
Tap your brakes

The correct answer is: Move to the center lane

Tailgating is when a driver is following very closely behind you, which can be intimidating and dangerous. If you are being tailgated, you should not increase your speed (answer A) as this can lead to a dangerous situation if you need to stop suddenly. Stopping and letting them pass (answer C) can also be dangerous, as the tailgating driver may not have enough time and space to react. Tapping your brakes (answer D) can also be risky as it may cause the tailgater to react incorrectly and cause an accident. Moving to the center lane (answer B) is the safest option as it allows the tailgater to pass safely and also gives you more space in front of your vehicle.
