What should you do if you are being tailgated?

Go faster
Pull to the side of the road
Flash your headlights
Beep your horn

The correct answer is: Pull to the side of the road

Tailgating is when a vehicle behind you follows too closely. This can be annoying and dangerous as it does not leave enough time to stop in case of an emergency. Beeping your horn or flashing your headlights may escalate the situation and lead to road rage. Going faster may also increase the risk of an accident. Therefore, the safest option is to pull to the side of the road and let the tailgater pass. This will help maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the tailgater's vehicle.
