Explanation
If you are being followed closely by another driver, it is best to safely merge into another lane. This allows the tailgater to pass you and reduces the risk of a rear-end collision. If changing lanes is not possible, wait until the road ahead is clear and passing is legal, then gradually slow down. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you.
