A driver behind you is following far too closely, a tailgater. What is a reasonable response?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 110 (General Knowledge): Increase your own following distance from the vehicle ahead, giving yourself more room to slow down gradually
Why
Extra distance ahead means you can slow down gradually instead of suddenly, reducing the chance the tailgater behind you rear-ends your vehicle if you have to brake.
