What is the most appropriate way to handle a tailgating driver behind you?

Accelerate to create more space
Stare back to indicate frustration
Gradually slow down and allow them to pass
Wave and signal for them to follow

The correct answer is: Gradually slow down and allow them to pass

Gradually slowing down and allowing the tailgating driver to pass is a sensible approach in this situation. This method prioritizes safety by creating more space between your vehicle and the tailgater, thereby reducing the risk of a rear-end collision. By easing off the accelerator, you provide the tailgating driver with an opportunity to move ahead without escalating the situation or causing an unnecessary confrontation. This approach also allows you to maintain control over your vehicle and your emotions, rather than reacting with frustration or aggression. It’s crucial to stay calm and handle the situation in a way that promotes safety for everyone on the road.
