If you are being tailgated, you should _________.

Dealing With Tailgaters Safely. In a large vehicle, it is often hard to see whether a vehicle is close behind you. You may be tailgated:
— When you are Traveling Slowly. Drivers trapped behind slow vehicles often follow closely.
— In Bad Weather. Many small vehicle drivers follow large vehicles closely during bad weather, especially when it is hard to see the road ahead.
If you find yourself being tailgated, here are some things you can do to reduce the chances of an accident:
Avoid Quick Changes. If you have to slow down or turn, signal early, and reduce speed very gradually.
Increase Your Following Distance. Open up room in front of you to help you avoid having to make sudden speed or direction changes. It also makes it easier for the tailgater to get around you.
Do Not Speed Up. It is safer to be tailgated at a low speed than a high speed.
Avoid Tricks. Do not turn on your taillights or flash your brake lights. Follow the suggestions above. [Commercial Driver Handbook]
