Thanks.

Beautifully succinct Kev!

That'll be a no then.

No posts that go to more than about 20 replies are really worth reading ๐Ÿ™‚

I find slamming it down a gear and lifting off the accelerator much more effective in making them crap themselves.

I prefer to change down and floor it, tailgaters are generally in 320d's or transit vans so pretty easy to leave behind in anything a bit nippy. This is particularly good fun if I've borrowed my brothers EVO as the four foot flame from the de cat exhaust tends to give them a fright as well.

Tailgaters really piss me off, actaully more than middle lane drivers

Best thing to do with tailgaters is box them in. That really annoys them ๐Ÿ™‚

No. Slow down and encourage them to overtake, then speed up when they attempt it. Obviously I have never done this.

I used to drive the A68 a lot between Northumberland and Edinburgh - there is some horrible driving on that road.

But nothing amused me more than a tailgater making a big show of revving hard as he finally got past me on one of the few straight bits - and then either slam on the brakes as they nearly bin it on a hairpin bend or get caught by one of the speed cameras hidden amongst the trees. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

If he was being particularly annoying then I'd hold him off and only let him past when I knew the speed camera was coming up ๐Ÿ˜€

I let tailgaiters pass as soon as possible. Then they are away from me when they crash.

They went through this on Look NorthWest last night. They showed a youtube video of a cyclist getting knocked off by an audi. I'm fairly certain the guy who posted that video is on here.
