When you tailgate other drivers:

Keep a safe distance at all times
Speed up to make a point
Drive even closer
You can frustrate the other drivers and make them angry

The correct answer is: You can frustrate the other drivers and make them angry

When tailgating other drivers, the behavior can indeed lead to frustration and anger among those being tailgated. When a driver follows another vehicle too closely, it can create anxiety, as the driver in front may feel pressured to speed up or change lanes, leading to a potential increase in road rage. This can escalate into aggressive driving behaviors, putting everyone on the road at risk. Maintaining a safe distance is crucial for safe driving, as it allows for proper reaction times in case the vehicle in front needs to stop suddenly. Speeding up or driving even closer are practices that compromise safety and can contribute to accidents. Recognizing that tailgating can provoke negative reactions from other drivers highlights the importance of courteous and safe driving behavior.
