I find it humorous to just slow down when someone is tailgating me. For example, I am doing 60 in a 55. Someone is tailgating me. I slow down to 45. Most people understand with this method that they are not going to get there faster by riding my ass, so they back off and I speed back up. If they don't understand, I "think" I see a deer in the road, so I slam on my brakes.

The other day I was in the middle of 3 lanes on the freeway @75MPH [ours are 70mph BTW] and this minivan starts tailgaiting me even though both lanes on either side are totally open. I actually got down to 45MPH and had to put on the gas again because minimum speed is 40MPH and I really don't want that ticket. LOL. He still stayed behind me until I got off and he didn't even look mad or anything. WTF? --------------------  |
