I mean its basic drivers ed man, someone tailgates you then move out of their way. Its a much smarter option than slamming your breaks or speeding up whether its a cop doing the tailgating or any other person. If there is no lane to change to then slow down, put on you blinker and pull over for a second. I would much rather get to my destination 20 seconds later than start a dumb fight with a drunk driver or end up with a ticket. There are also proven ways to greatly lessen the chances of getting a ticket if you do get pulled over, just do some research. Works for some cops, others just need to hit that quota, but you may as well try rather than make it immediately clear to the officer that youre pissed off he pulled you over for doing something explicitly illegal.
