My heart raced—I wanted to do the right thing. I remembered my driving instructor once said it’s okay to carefully pull into the intersection if it’s safe, even if the light is red, to let emergency vehicles pass. It felt a bit nerve-wracking, but it made sense. Safety first, but always make way for those who need it most! Have you ever been in this situation? What did you do?

BoldBanshee+FollowHow I Handle Tailgaters on My Local Country RoadEvery day, I drive a one-way country road with farms and woods on both sides. The speed limit is 40mph, and I stick to it, even if the dotted yellow line means others can pass. Lately, more drivers tailgate me, even when I’m at or just above the limit. It’s stressful, especially with deer and driveways everywhere. I refuse to speed up—I slow back to the limit and let them pass if it’s safe. My advice: stay calm, don’t let tailgaters pressure you, and always put safety first. Have you dealt with tailgaters? Share your tips below! #SafeDriving #RoadSafety #StayCalm #Cars35174Share
