Ever since you changed lanes, the car behind has been tailgating you, honking continuously and flashing its high beams. What is the most appropriate response?
💡 Hint
Responding in kind to a threatening driver escalates the conflict and easily leads to an accident. Judge each action by whether it puts distance between you and the other driver, whether it exposes you to danger outside the car, and whether, like sudden braking, it is dangerous in itself.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Retaliating against an aggressive driver escalates the conflict and easily leads to a crash. Give way to increase the distance, and if the threat continues, do not get out; lock the doors and call the police (112). Sudden braking as a warning is itself a dangerous act that causes rear-end collisions, and speeding to escape only raises the risk of a crash.
