What should you do when another vehicle follows you too closely?

Allowing the vehicle to pass is the safest and most responsible option when another vehicle is following you too closely. If you find yourself in this situation, it can be both uncomfortable and dangerous. By letting the tailgating vehicle overtake you, you create more space between yourself and the other driver, reducing the risk of a potential collision.

Speeding up or making sudden stops can escalate the situation and may lead to unsafe driving conditions. Quickly changing lanes without proper signaling can also be risky, especially if other vehicles are nearby or if the road conditions do not allow for safe lane changes. Therefore, allowing the vehicle to pass not only improves safety but also helps maintain a smoother flow of traffic for everyone involved.
