going slower when tailgated is a dumb sh!t attitude. you are being tailgated for a reason. you are probably going too slow in the right lane.
keep left unless overtaking and give way people. you wont get tailgated.
Idiots still tailgate.
Simple way to deal with it is to stand on the brakes. The stooges tend to back off then.
If you're getting tailgated on a freeway, then you should move across, thats for sure. If you're getting tailgated in the left lane, slow down and *smile* them off, its their fault. My issue with tailgaters is on the single lane roads...and I always slow down if they tailgate me at the speed limit on those roads.
I had a L-plater tailgating me on the freeway on Saturday, it was bizarre, she wouldn't leave me alone no matter how fast I went. So we played tag all the way to Fountain gate, overtaking each other in turn. I don't think her mum was very impressed (I got a glare everytime they went past me), but the driver was having a grin and the two kids in the back gave me a wave as we went past each other.
