What to Do When Someone's Following You in a Car

Another long workday. Finally, you get in the car, turn on your favorite song, and start driving home. That’s when you notice something weird in the rear-view mirror. “Is that guy following me?” You slow down – maybe they’ll pass. Nope. You speed up – they stay on you. What to do if you suspect someone is tailing you in a car?

Well, before you get too nervous or annoyed, confirm that you are indeed being followed. The easiest way is to make 3 right turns around the block. Why would someone drive aimlessly around the same buildings? If you’re on the freeway, take the next upcoming exit. But instead of getting off, get right back on the freeway. If the car does the same, it’s probably tailing you. And if you've confirmed you are being followed, here's what you should do.

Drive straight to a police station is the answer

95% I totally agree. Going to automatic car wash in this case is the craziest idea I've ever heard 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Note: their advice about calling the police is incorrect. You do not have to follow the rules about using your phone while driving in an emergency. Just call the police. It is better that way.

I was in my early 20's when a man followed me for 20 miles and blocked me each time I tried to get in the exit lane. I slowed for awhile, and he did the same. Then I gunned it hard, got in front of him and exited. He followed me. At the first stoplight, he was still there, I didn't look at him, I just waited for the cars to clear, ran a red light and made an illegal turn onto another ramp and lost him. I was actually hoping a police car would stop me, but none were around. Cops in the state I live in are pretty useless for the most part.

My grandma always thinks she’s followed and drives to the police station

I like how the protagonist was so chill when he slammed the brakes to destroy the pursuer’s car lol

[bridgetteouh]

remember to always lock your car doors and to never even open the window to make a convo. Always don't step outside your car and take that stalker picture or car plate.

Guys, never stop at a gas station, there’s probably like 50 more shady people there

[flipbookhubanimations]

This felt as a spooky story than a suggestion 😂

It's also safer to drive in heavy traffic. If you know you're being followed, drive through a traffic jam, the predator won't try anything if there are a buttload of witnesses around. Never drive on an empty street at night even if you know it's the fastest or shortest way home. Better late than never.
