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
Do not brake sharply to punish a driver who follows too closely. Keep your actions smooth, allow extra room ahead so you can slow gradually, and let the other driver pass when it is safe. Never respond by racing or making an unsafe lane change.
