What should you do if someone is tailgating you?

  1. Speed up to encourage them to pass

  2. Pull over

  3. Signal and change lanes

  4. Slam on your brakes

The correct answer is: Signal and change lanes

Tailgating is considered a dangerous driving behavior and should be avoided. Speeding up to encourage the tailgater to pass may only further escalate the situation and potentially lead to a car accident. Pulling over is also not recommended as it may not be safe or necessary to do so. Slamming on your brakes can also be dangerous and may result in the tailgater rear-ending you. The best course of action in this situation is to remain calm and signal to change lanes when it is safe to do so. This allows the tailgater to pass you safely and reduces the risk of a potential accident.
