Tailgating
What is proper procedure to deal with the tailgating driver.
I divide them into categories
1. Moderate - stays behind at 2 meters
2. Bad - at 1 meter
3. Brain problem - at 1 meter with the cell phone
4. Dangerous - at 1 meter with cell phone and looking in the mirror
For type 4 I slam brakes and gas right after, but maybe there is a better way.

Re: Tailgating
Same here: change the lane and let them go... If someone wants to drive faster it is his/her prerogative, not mine. Let the police deal with over the speed limit; I am not the law enforcer. I have no problem with people speeding as long as the manoeuvres are done properly. How many times we've seen drivers doing the speed limit but driving like as being fresh out of the driving school ?!

Re: Tailgating
Sometimes it is not safe to change lane or pull over. In these situations I use my rear fog lights and they think that these are brake lights. This applies to cases 1 and 2.
