What should you do to prevent hitting the vehicle ahead during a rear impact?

Accelerate quickly
Turn on your headlights
Apply brakes firmly
Shift to a lower gear

The correct answer is: Accelerate quickly

To prevent hitting the vehicle ahead during a rear impact, accelerating quickly is the correct choice. By accelerating quickly, you create more space between your vehicle and the one in front of you, decreasing the chances of a rear-end collision. This strategy allows you to either change lanes or move away from the impending collision. The other options are not effective in preventing a rear-end collision: - Turning on your headlights does not directly help in avoiding a rear-end collision as it is more about visibility rather than preventing the collision. - Applying brakes firmly might cause your vehicle to skid and lose control, increasing the risk of a collision. - Shifting to a lower gear will not create additional space between your vehicle and the one in front; instead, it might slow down your vehicle quickly, potentially causing a collision.
