Another driver is following your vehicle too closely. Which response gives you a safer margin?
Blue car A travels between two silver cars on the left of two same-direction lanes. The rear car is close behind A. No route or change in spacing is marked.
Correct answer: Leave more room ahead and let the driver pass safely.
Why
You cannot directly control the gap behind you. Leave more space ahead so you can slow smoothly, and let the other driver pass when safe. If the close following continues, leave the road at a safe place when possible. Do not brake-check, race or make a sudden lane change.
