What is typically an effective strategy for managing a tailgater?
Dealing with someone tailgating you is best managed by safely allowing them to overtake. This often involves switching to a different lane, creating an opportunity for them to pass, thereby reducing pressure and potential risk from having a closely following vehicle. Accelerating could increase risk by simply encouraging the tailgater to keep pace at higher speeds.
