Your reaction to a tailgater...
It doesn't happen to me very often but this morning an Odyssey minivan was literally on my ass (1-2 feet) for a good 1/4 mile so I slowed down to below the speed limit and he was still on my ass. We hit a stop sign so I got out of my car and I had a few harsh words with this jerkoff. Some people just drive close to your rear but this guy was literally on my bumper. How do you guys usually handle these dipshits?

There was one time some guys were doing it to me on purpose and have no clue why. I slowed down to about 15mph in a 40 for a while and they stayed there. They followed me for a while and I could see big grins on their faces so it started to pissed me off. I even changed lanes and they stayed right there with me. Eventually I got up to a stop sign going to turn right so I burned some rubber, threw gravel on their truck, and vtec'd the hell out of there. Didn't see them again.

I just let off the gas. If I have to come to a stop...I will. Eventually after driving about 20mph in a 55 will get them to move. I hate tailgaters!

i ignore them for a while and give them time to change lanes, then i either downshift like 2 gears so they dont see brake lights and then they almost rear end me (twice now this has caused the tailgater to drive off of the road. hilarious to watch in the rear view), sometimes if i happen to have change ill flip a penny up with my thumb so they dont see where it comes from, if its dark out ill let them pass then get behind them and turn on my high beams for a while.

I change lanes... Roll down driver side window and give them the to pass.
That's how they do it in lapping events, no?
Obviously the car tailgating you is far superior than yours, so let them pass so they can achieve their fastest time to their destination
