AMDifficulty 3/5

You ride your moped behind another vehicle while a vehicle follows you too closely. What preventive measure should you take?

Correct answer

Gradually increase the gap to the vehicle ahead.

Gradually increase the gap to the vehicle ahead to gain time and space to respond and brake progressively. Do not accelerate in protest or brake sharply to teach the following driver a lesson. Stay attentive and maintain suitable speed. If the other vehicle overtakes, facilitate safe passing without increasing speed; a larger front gap does not itself guarantee they can overtake safely.
