If a driver behind you repeatedly flashes his or her headlights, you should

brake suddenly
continue at the same speed
get out of the way
change lanes without signaling

The correct answer is: get out of the way

When a driver behind you repeatedly flashes their headlights, it is a signal that they are trying to communicate with you. In this situation, the correct course of action is to get out of the way and allow the other driver to pass if it is safe to do so. This can prevent any potential road rage or dangerous driving behavior that may result from the other driver's frustration. It is important to always be aware of your surroundings and respond to signals from other drivers to ensure a safe driving experience for everyone on the road. Braking suddenly (Choice A) can surprise the driver behind you and lead to a rear-end collision. Continuing at the same speed (Choice B) may not address the other driver's signal and could increase their frustration. Changing lanes without signaling (Choice D) is not a safe or courteous practice and can potentially cause a hazardous situation on the road.
