Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
What is a safe response when another driver follows too closely?
On a divided road with two eastbound lanes, blue A is in the left lane. Silver C follows A closely, and B is farther ahead. The right lane is empty in the illustrated segment. The opposite carriageway is outside the view. Positions alone do not establish time gaps.
Correct answer: Leave more space ahead and let the tailgater pass.
Why
More space ahead lets you brake gradually; giving the tailgater a safe way past removes the conflict.
