What is the best action if you are being tailgated?

When you are being tailgated, the safest and most effective action is to change lanes or pull over to allow the tailgater to pass. This option helps you avoid a potentially dangerous situation. By allowing the tailgater to move ahead, you reduce the risk of a rear-end collision, which can occur if the tailgater becomes frustrated or if there's an unexpected need to brake suddenly.

Moving aside or changing lanes accommodates their aggressive driving behavior while ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. It’s important to maintain a calm demeanor and not engage in any confrontational behaviors, which could escalate the situation. Allowing the tailgater to pass also helps to relieve the tension for both drivers and can contribute to a smoother driving experience.
