You are driving on a main road and a car following behind is "tailgating" you. How should you react?

In German traffic rules, when a car is tailgating you on a main road, the correct response is to maintain your current speed and keep to the right lane if possible. This allows the tailgating vehicle to safely overtake you. Increasing your speed to try to shake them off can be dangerous and is not recommended, as it might lead to speeding or loss of control. Similarly, slowing down abruptly can cause accidents or disrupt the traffic flow behind you. Staying steady and moving right if there is a right lane helps maintain safety and complies with traffic regulations. This behavior is part of courteous and safe driving on German roads.
