A driver is tailgating you. What should you do?
The rule
If another vehicle is riding close behind you, ease off your speed and keep to the right so it can pass.
When a driver follows you too closely, the handbook says slow down and keep to the right, so they can get by.
From the Official Florida Driver License Handbook, page 62. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
