Practice question

Tailgating is the practice of:

  1. Changing lanes frequently
  2. Driving over the speed limit
  3. Following too close
  4. Honking continuously

Answer: A — Changing lanes frequently

Tailgating is the practice of driving too close or following too closely to the vehicle in front of you. It is a dangerous driving habit since it reduces the time and space available for you to react to unexpected situations. Changing lanes frequently (A) or driving over the speed limit (B) do not necessarily involve tailgating, although they can increase the likelihood of it occurring. Honking continuously (D) is also not directly related to tailgating.
