What is a good way to handle tailgaters while riding a motorcycle?

Changing lanes to let tailgaters pass is a safe and considerate way to handle the situation. When you are riding a motorcycle and someone is following closely behind you, it can create an unsafe environment, especially if they are not aware of your need for stopping distance or may not be paying full attention. By changing lanes, you allow the tailgater to move ahead, reducing the risk of a collision or a panic stop that could cause an accident.

This approach prioritizes your safety and the safety of others on the road. It also provides an opportunity to avoid potential road rage or aggressive driving behaviors that could escalate if you were to confront or signal the tailgater. Being proactive and allowing them to pass helps maintain a safer distance between you and the vehicle behind you, allowing you to focus on your ride and stay aware of your surroundings.
