What should you do if you are being tailgated by another vehicle?

  1. Increase your speed to create more distance.

  2. Brake suddenly to warn the tailgater.

  3. Change lanes to allow the vehicle to pass.

  4. Maintain your speed and ignore the tailgater.

The correct answer is: Change lanes to allow the vehicle to pass.

Tailgating poses a significant risk for accidents as the following vehicle may not have enough time to brake or avoid obstacles. Therefore, increasing your speed (option A) can be dangerous and may lead to an accident. Braking suddenly (option B) may catch the tailgater off guard and cause a collision. Ignoring the tailgater (option D) does not address the problem and can lead to a potentially dangerous situation. The safest option is to change lanes (option C) to allow the vehicle to pass and create a safe distance between both vehicles.
