#3 Get Safely Out of the Way
If youre on a multi-lane road and its safe to move to another lane, put on your turn signal and get out of the way. This is the easiest way to deal with a tailgater and end the situation. The driver behind you is being unsafe and if you can solve the problem simply by switching lanes, then do so as soon as possible. If theres not another lane, consider turning into a parking lot.
It might be tempting to get angry at the tailgater and not let them pass. Dont let your emotions get the best of you. Tailgating is a dangerous and aggressive driving tactic.
Aggressive driving, defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association as a combination of moving traffic offenses that can endanger other people or property, is often the result of road rage and a major factor in fatal highway collisions each year.
This is the one people probably fail at the most. Nobody wants to be bullied into another lane, but it's the safest way to deal with the situation.
