Just stay out of the left lane and you should be fine.

In todays world we play the hurry up and wait game if you do not like the way another drives there isn't much you can do except drive in the middle of the night when others aren't on the road. Our lives are to busy to be behind some one who wants to sit and act like its a Sunday. If you notice there are more accidents because you have that one idiot in the road that feels the need to go 10 below the posted speed limit. Acting childish about it isn't going to solve the problem and you cant change the world. Bitching about it sure wont change it either soon the posted speed limit on our highways will be 80 and i vote for this. I cant wait until I see when the speed limit higher. It is amazing the Autobahn over in Europe has no posted speed limit and people seem less stressed out on the road over there then we are here.
If you dont like other riding your *** you have a few options stay off the road take the bus or call a taxi.
the best bumper stick i have ever seen is
If your gonna ride my *** at lease pull my hair while doing it!

That is called a road rage.
I have a trick for tailgaters. All I have to do is slow down, move to a curb, and stop. The reason behind it is, drivers are in a hurry and they are really pissed off if someone slows them down. What's on their mind is they want to push you out of the way, that's why you have to move away from their lane. Also, the trick also works because the tailgater maintains its speed, above the speed limit, which it noticeable to the cops, usually they get caught.

i agree about the tailgating part. it is dangerous and pointless. however, it seems you take tailgating very personally. its going to be your fault, not the tailgator, for slaming on the brakes purposely, when traffic is not even slowing down. not only will the tailgator rear-end you but so will several other drivers behind as well, which can cause a major traffic collision. you think the police and your insurance company will pity you for having to slam on your brakes on the tailgator? NO.
my advice to you is to drive DEFENSIVELY, not OFFENSIVELY. one way to do so is to pull over to the side of the road and let them pass, if possible.

I understand your frustration, but to apply your brakes in such a way could lead to a collision where someone could be injured...and like it or not, you will be at fault because you applied your brakes for no apparent reason other than that someone was, in your opinion, too close to your rear....your insurance company will not take kindly to that fact and neither will the police and any medical personnel who may have to get involved!
Best advice is to just gradually slow down, they will hopefully get the message sooner or later and back off. If you don't like to do that then just pullover at a safe spot and let them go past...

Drop the car down to 15 MPH, if you really want to drive them nuts. =)
My grandfather used to have a trick for tailgaters who used their high beams on him. He had a light on the top of his car he could rotate around, and use to get the tailgater in the eyes. It's poetic justice at its finest.

What you can do is run an extra wire to your backup lights, attach it to a toggle switch hooked to a power lead from the radio or cig lighter, where you can reach it easy. Your back up lights are bright enough to be uncomfortable on their eyes at night and will keep you from being worked over by headlights. A brief flash in daylight will be mistaken for brake lights if you don't over do it. If anyone complains it is there for night loading.

don't you know how to drive, if your going in the fastlane and your *** is too slow your suppose to switch lanes and let the people who actually have somewhere to go pass you. your the reason why so many people have roadrage issues. Just keep your *** in the slow lane

When people ride on the back of your car,running red lights and when a person wants to cross all the lanes to get to the other side of the street. They can cause an accident like that.

if you brake in front of me on purpose i will rear-end you. it's illegal to brake with the intention of making somoone hit you didn't you know that?
if someone plows into the back of your car because you stepped on the brakes for them you will be at fault.
and you need to stay in the right lane with the other slow people. that's how it works. the left lane is for passing so stay the **** out of the way loser
