During the journey your passenger informs you that you are repeatedly tailgating. What should you do?

Your answer is correct because both taking the passenger’s comments seriously and maintaining a greater distance are important for safety. In German traffic rules, tailgating (driving too close behind another vehicle) is dangerous and increases the risk of collisions. Listening to a passenger’s warning helps you become aware of unsafe behavior. Increasing the following distance gives you more reaction time to respond to sudden stops or changes in traffic, which reduces accident risk. Ignoring such comments could lead to unsafe driving and potential penalties. Always keep a safe distance according to the speed and road conditions.
