Explanation
When a tailgater is behind you, changing lanes is an effective way to encourage them to pass and helps prevent a rear-end collision. When it is safe, move to another lane or pull off the road to let the driver pass. Do not brake suddenly or unnecessarily, as this can reduce the other driver’s reaction time and increase the risk of a crash.
