If someone is tailgating you, it is best not to speed up because speeding can make it harder to avoid potential road hazards. Move over one lane and let them pass instead.
🚘 If someone is threatening you with a firearm or you believe you are being followed, don’t engage and call 911 for help.
🚘 If your car stalls or runs out of gas on the road, put your hazard lights on and release the accelerator. Don’t slam on the brakes. 
🚘 It can be safer to sit in the passenger seat while waiting for help in the right shoulder lane. Position yourself as far away from traffic as possible.
