What should you do to handle tailgaters effectively?

To effectively handle tailgaters, changing lanes and allowing them to pass is the best approach. This action creates a safe distance between you and the tailgater, reducing the risk of a collision. By allowing them to go ahead, you maintain control of your motorcycle and your safety without engaging in any potentially confrontational or dangerous maneuvers.

Other options may not address the underlying issue of tailgating effectively. Speeding up can lead to reckless behavior and could cause an accident if the tailgater does not react appropriately. Using hand signals may not be sufficient to communicate to the tailgater what you intend to do, and staying in your lane can keep you in a precarious position if the tailgater gets too close. Being proactive by changing lanes is a practical and defensive strategy in dealing with aggressive drivers behind you.
