32. When being followed by a tailgater, which of the following will help you avoid being hit from behind?

Changing lanes frequently

When being closely followed by a tailgater, you should slow down gradually or merge into another lane to prevent a collision with them.

Move to the left of the center lane.

Signal before you arrive at the intersection.

Turn your front wheels to the left to be prepared to turn.

When making a left turn, you should always begin signaling about 100 feet before the turn. You should keep your front wheels aiming straight ahead until it is safe to start your turn. This ensures that you will not be pushed into oncoming traffic if another vehicle hits you from behind.

You should slow down and move to the right lane.

Stay in the right lane if you are driving more slowly than other traffic.

Slower traffic must exit on the right.

A white, rectangular sign indicates that you must obey important rules. This sign means that drivers should allow the left lane to remain open, when possible, for passing and for faster traffic.

They do not follow the same rules as motor vehicles.

A motorcycle can stop much faster than a standard vehicle.

Stop before entering the intersection, as long as you can do so safely.

Stop. Yield to all cross traffic before crossing the intersection.
