Nothing gets your heart racing faster than a tailgater on a twisty road!

I was out driving on a rural road full of sharp turns when some guy came flying up behind me, flashing his brights and riding my bumper hard. I kept calm and stayed steady, but he eventually roared past me in a hurry. Not even a minute later, I had to slam the brakes for a deer that darted across the road. All I could think was — if he had still been tailgating me, we both would’ve been wrecked. And if I hadn't braked, I would’ve nailed the deer and still gotten rear-ended. It really got me thinking: what’s the safest move when someone’s glued to your back bumper like that? Pull over? Slow down? Speed up? I did what felt right in the moment, but I’m curious how others handle it. 🚗💨 Ever had a tailgater turn a drive into a near disaster? #Tailgating #RoadSafety #DrivingQuestions #RuralRoads #NearMiss
