If you're being followed too closely while driving, the safest option is to slow down and keep to the right, allowing the vehicle to pass. This helps create more space between you and the tailgating driver, reducing the risk of a potential rear-end collision. Maintaining your speed or speeding up can both be dangerous and might escalate the situation. Always prioritize your safety and the safety of others on the road.
