Comment

When driving on a highway and being harassed by the car behind you, you should keep calm and control your speed at an appropriate pace. You should avoid slow driving so as not to hinder the flow of traffic. However, you should also not be tempted to drive faster. It's best to let the pushy driver pass at the next opportunity.
