when someone tailgates me, I slow down.
I don't even notice tailgaters very often. I'm too busy singing along with whatever is playing on the radio.
this is a good option because it makes it easier and safer for the person behind you to overtake.
i often have cars in front of me when i'm on my motorcycle. they speed up which makes it impossible to safely overtake on curvy roads. just slow down a little and i will be out of your hair in seconds.
Gotta reduce speed so their tailgating distance is the appropriate gap
This is the way.
Anyone can stop their vehicle in a single meter if we're both going slow enough.
The car behind chooses a following distance. The car in front can choose an appropriate speed to help things stay safe.
Plus, it helps them overtake safely to go have their inevitable future accident somewhere far from me.
This is one of the many reasons I love my manual transmission
I miss driving a manual car. How does it help with tailgating? Was I missing out?!
I can down shift and slow down without activating my brakelights.
Ohhhhh I forgot about that!
Oh, you mean you like getting bumped in the rear then?
The question was how to annoy people, a car slowing down while being tailgated without brake lights annoys people.
I swear I'm the single calmest and least petty person on the road it feels.
Wow I should have know my answer would be taken.
