I dont get the point of trying to race someone or not let them pass you. even if someone is a total **** and tailgating you, what are you really proving by slowing down more, or racing them. Its just dangerous. If they are going to ride your ***, let them pass, and diffuse an unsafe situation, would'nt you rather NOT get rear ended then prove that your car is faster or that you're **** is bigger. You should always leave yourself an exit to any emergency situation while driving, and i'd say being able to stop/slow down quickly if you need to can certainly prevent an accident. Yes, it is THEIR fault and they are invading YOUR space when they tailgate you, but who cares? let them pass
i prefer to let them pass and watch them weave in and out for miles, then be in the same place as them 15 mins later.
and although tailgaters are very dangerous, its also dangerous not to let people pass if you are in the fast/passing lane. even if you are going above the speed limit. I hate getting stuck behind someone who's logic is 'i'm going fast enough.... i dont need to let him pass'
