When should you increase the gap between your vehicle and the one in front?
If another driver is following you too closely (tailgating), it's safer to broaden the space between your car and the one ahead. This precaution helps give you more time to slow down gradually, avoiding the risk of a sudden stop that could cause the tailgater to collide with you. Consider switching lanes gently if possible to allow the tailgater to pass.
