If you are being followed too closely by another driver, merge into a different lane. If there is no lane available for merging, wait until the road ahead is clear and slowly reduce your speed. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you.

• Speed up to increase the distance between you and the other car.
• Apply your brakes to slow down, then resume your original speed.
