What should you do if you're being tailgated?

Speed up to create distance
Move to a lane where the vehicle can pass
Brake suddenly to warn the driver
Ignore it

The correct answer is: Move to a lane where the vehicle can pass

When being tailgated, moving to a lane where the vehicle can pass is the safest and most effective response. This approach allows you to avoid potential collisions that can occur if the tailgating driver misjudges the distance, particularly when sudden braking happens in front of them. By changing lanes, you provide the tailgater with an opportunity to overtake, reducing the risk of a dangerous situation. Choosing to speed up could escalate the risk of a high-speed incident. Braking suddenly may lead to a rear-end collision since the tailgater isn't expecting it. Ignoring the tailgater leaves you vulnerable to their erratic driving behavior, which could result in an accident. Therefore, moving to another lane to let the tailgater pass is a proactive and safe choice.
