What should you do if you detect a vehicle is tailgating you?

When you detect a vehicle tailgating you, changing lanes or reducing speed to allow the tailgater to pass is the safest and most effective option. This approach helps to prevent potential accidents that could occur if the tailgating driver is unable to maintain a safe distance. By letting them pass, you remove the immediate pressure they are exerting by being too close, which may also help to alleviate any road rage or aggressive driving behavior.

Choosing to reduce your speed or change lanes can create a safer driving environment for both you and the tailgater. Additionally, maintaining a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of you is always important to ensure you have enough reaction time in the event of sudden stops.
