What should you do if someone is tailgating you?

When you find yourself being tailgated, the safest approach is to change lanes and allow the tailgating driver to pass. This action helps you maintain control of your motorcycle and reduces the risk of a collision. By letting them pass, you create a safer distance between yourself and the tailgater, alleviating the pressure of their close proximity.

Other approaches, such as speeding up to lose them, can lead to dangerous situations as they encourage risky driving behavior and can increase the likelihood of a crash. Slamming on brakes is hazardous and could result in an accident if the tailgater is unable to react in time. Ignoring the situation does not address the potential danger of having another vehicle so close behind you and could result in a stressful ride. Therefore, changing lanes is the most prudent and effective method to handle tailgating while maintaining safety for yourself and others on the road.
