UK Driving Theory Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

Define tailgating.

Following another vehicle too closely

Tailgating refers to the dangerous driving practice of following another vehicle too closely. This can lead to collisions if the front vehicle suddenly brakes or stops. Driving beside another vehicle on a multi-lane road (B) is a common practice and not necessarily dangerous, as long as there is enough space between the vehicles. Rapidly accelerating to pass another vehicle (C) can also be a safe and necessary maneuver when done properly. Driving behind a vehicle without headlights on (D) is a violation of traffic laws and not directly related to tailgating. Remember, it is important to maintain a safe and reasonable distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you to avoid potential accidents.
