Best way to deal with em?
I get them often in 30 zones, especially BMW drivers - they seem to think they are allowed to do 50+ around schools 
Usually I slow down even more to about 20ish, love seeing their faces when you do that

had one last night, was a few cars behind me on the dual carriageway and could see he was driving like a tit. he turned off same place as me onto country roads and i stick to speed limits all the time normally, twat sat right on my arse for ages til i turned round and glared at the cock. If i was in t'corsa, wouldve just left the wanker in his IS200 for dust and made him feel a like a cunt trying to race and lose to a corsa!

slam your brakes on so they run in the back of you
I usually just ignore them or drive a bit slower to annoy them and also because if they are tailgating you then it means they have less chance of stopping without hitting you in an emergency.
Quite often stare at them, they tend to back off a bit then

make sure they know theyve pissed you off, and when (if) you have to stop, for lights, junction, roundabout etc, engage reverse for a few seconds - usually shits them up a bit

I contine doing 30mph, and increase the space between me and the car infront, as is the practice taught in the highway code.

Why not get out the way then? No sympathy for you if you were going slow in the fast lane. That creates traffic.

That was kinda silly to be fair....
I'm on about mainly tailgaters where there's only one lane and in a 30, you're doing the speedlimit and they think they have the right to go faster

im not going slow in the fast lane.
70mph is the LIMIT... i was doing 80mph overtaking someone!
ps... why would i want sympathy becuase someone tailgated me?
Also it was about 7 in morning.... NO traffic!

What you did encourages undertaking, nice one mate 
If it was 7 in the morning on a motorway then to be fair what's wrong with doing more than 70...anyway that's another debate!
Back to topic!
