Practice question

What should you do if you are being tailgated?

  1. Signal the vehicle to pass
  2. Ignore the vehicle
  3. Increase your speed
  4. Move to the right to allow the vehicle to pass

Answer: D — Move to the right to allow the vehicle to pass

When being tailgated, it is important to remain calm and in control of your vehicle. Options A and B are not recommended as signaling the vehicle to pass may provoke aggressive behavior and ignoring the vehicle is not a safe response. Option C is also not recommended as it may lead to speeding and potentially dangerous situations. The best course of action is to move to the right and allow the tailgating vehicle to pass when it is safe to do so. This will help prevent any potential accidents or incidents and also avoid escalating the situation.
