Explanation
If another driver is tailgating you and there is a right lane, move over to the right. If there is no right lane, reduce your speed gradually when you see that the road ahead is clear. Doing so will encourage the tailgater to pass you instead of following you too closely. Avoid slowing down quickly, as this increases the risk of being hit from behind.
