A driver is following you very closely on a two-lane road. You will need to slow down soon to turn right into a driveway. What is the safest way to handle this?
B follows closely behind A on a two-way road. A needs to slow for the driveway ahead on its right.
Correct answer: Signal early and tap your brakes a few times, then slow down gradually.
Why
Tailgating is a form of aggressive driving, and a driver who follows too closely has little time to react when you slow down. You cannot control that driver, but you can give warning and avoid sudden changes in speed. Stay calm, do not brake to punish the driver, and let the driver pass when it is safe.
