The most surprising thing about this video is that, in over twenty minutes of driving, Ashley didn't encounter even one massively distracted or aggressive tailgater, or anyone responding to his control techniques with a risky overtake.
I love the irony that tailgaters think they are getting somewhere faster, but the fastest way to get somewhere is with smooth flow, which, consequentially, they lack.
I've been driving since the late 90s and still learn from your videos. Thank you Ashley.
Weird how when you are doing a lesson on how to deal with tailgaters everyone behaved perfectly :)
Good learning points as always. Most of the time I can say "but I do that", but from time to time I say "mmm, that's interesting". So after over 60 years of driving I can still pick up points.
I used to have a sticker in the back window that read - "The closer you get - the slower I go".
It’s so important to control drivers behind you, many will try to bully you to move out of the way but have the confidence in yourself to know that you’re doing the right thing, like yesterday for example, I was driving home from work and even though the traffic light was on green I couldn’t go past the stop line as it was congested with stationary traffic and if I didn’t go forwards I’d be stopping on the yellow box junction which is illegal, the car behind me beeped their horn but I don’t care, I had the confidence in myself to sit behind the stop line as there was no where to go and I wouldn’t break the law and sit on a yellow box junction for anyone, also, last month, again I was driving home from work, I was approaching the 1 lane roundabout in my town and I wanted to take the 2nd exit which is straight ahead but I saw that my exit road wasn’t clear because there were 2 cars waiting at the red traffic light and if I sat behind them I’d be blocking the roundabout preventing flow for others wishing to use the roundabout so I didn’t enter the roundabout until my exit road started to move, the car behind me waved their hands in the air and beeped but I just ignored them because I had the confidence in myself to know that I was doing the correct thing, in situations like this never look at the other driver and never retaliate as you never know what kind of person you’re messing with, they could be a complete nutter for all you know, always remember, a bad driver thinks of best flow for themselves, a good driver thinks of best flow for others.
Although you were giving good advice as always, it's a pity you didn't have any strong examples of bad drivers behind you to demonstrate your points, apart from the truck driver at the end, though, which was a potential foe, until you were able to control , and you showed how you could give even the driver of a large vehicle the message to keep his distance.
Just watching the driver in the Jeep behind, and they really want to get ahead of you. As a note, when I was driving, especially on motorways and dual carriageways, I would always indicate for turning off at the 300 yd indicator, and never once applied the brakes at the last second.
I deal with tailgaters differently. I brake late and firm because I fancy going on a disney cruise. A tailgater will pay for me sooner or later.
as a motorcyclist I really hate when people follow me closely. The worst offenders are the L plate delivery riders. After watching your videos I have started to slow down if they keep riding my tail. But this gives more context and better techniques to deal with these people than just riding slowly. Great stuff!

Even if someone is following at a “good” distance, keep an eye on them as they could be distracted. Fiddling with a phone, infotainment system or talking to a passenger while looking at them and not the road.
Tailgating is my main bugbear on the roads, it just makes no sense. Allowing yourself at least a 2 second gap makes you smoother, makes planning easier, gives you better visibility of hazards, reduces stress on the driver in front, etc.
Excellent as always Ashley! On the subject of smoother/gentler braking and acceleration being better for brake wear and fuel economy, I always keep in mind something Martin Lewis said : Think of the pedals as money pumps, the harder you press down the more it costs you.
On dual carriageways in Essex, people seem to drive more aggressively, tailgating and applying their brakes when if they held back (Using the 2 second rule) they would be able to adjust their speed, not using their brakes, but by easing off the gas at the appropriate times.
Great tips thanks. I've had to work on this while driving in France. Tailgating is prolific and at higher motorway speeds. Remaining calm and remembering you're doing nothing wrong is a skill in itself.
Great Video Ashley When I First passed my driving test I was Nervous, Had A car tailgate me (also thought I couldnt slow down), and I tried to speed away from them, at the traffic lights suddenly changed to red the car behind almost rear ended me, ive got more experience now, and realised I caused that situation, if someone tailgates me now i just ignore them and pretemd there not even behind it helps, i brake early, they usually get fed up and go around, and i have come to terms that to never acclerate away from a bad situation, instead try to control it, there are times that ive been annoyed at people driving soo close, but I dont let bully lorry drivers, and car drivers pressure me anymore, great in depth video I Really enjoyed it loved the example near the emd of the video, with speeding up to the roundabout, slow down and approach gently is always key, thankyouu.
People vastly understimate just how much is involved with driving. Your commentary on this video is clear evidence of thought processes that people SHOULD be going through, Nice work!
Control the vehicle behind, gradual braking etc. I first heard on a driver training course years ago. Thanks for the refresher.
