Ontario M1 Motorcycle License Practice Test

What should a motorcyclist do when they are being tailgated?

Speed up to create distance. Signal for the driver to back off. Change lanes or pull over to let them pass. Brake suddenly to alert the driver.

Correct Answer:

Change lanes or pull over to let them pass.

Explanation:

When a motorcyclist is being tailgated, the safest and most effective response is to change lanes or pull over to let the tailgating driver pass. This action reduces the risk of a collision that could occur if the tailgater misjudges the distance or stopping time required. By allowing the aggressive driver to go ahead, the motorcyclist can regain their own space and comfort while ensuring their safety. This response also helps prevent road rage and avoids escalating a potentially dangerous situation. It is vital for motorcyclists to recognize that their safety is paramount, and creating distance from aggressive drivers is a sensible approach to maintaining safety on the road.
