Speed and stoppingQuestion 106 of 215

A driver tailgates you. What should you do?

  1. Speed up to gain distance
  2. Brake hard to warn the driver
  3. Wave the driver past
  4. Slow down slightly to increase the space ahead
Show answer

Correct answer: Slow down slightly to increase the space ahead

A bigger gap ahead lets you stop more gently. Then the driver behind has more time to react.
