Just go slower that the speed limit and they'll start passing you.

I found a DIY for that on a local car club site. Remember though, tampering with your brake or indicator system in that manner is illegal. Just had to tack that disclaimer on.

Rep Power: 297 The thing is, in any highway that is more than 1 lane, you have to keep on the right lane.
If you are at the left lane, no matter how fast you drive, if a car behinds you wants to drive faster, basically you have to let it go. However , if you are already at the middle or right lane, and someone still tailgate you, then he is wrong.
Never try to revenge someone back by tailgating him, because if you hit someone form the back, insurance company will make you pay fully and your experience star will decrease to 1 (as in 1 year of driving expenrince equivalency)

Rep Power: 276 I think the funny part of most tailgaters is that they typically drive the biggest pieces of crap that need to be pushed to their limits when driven like that. I saw the BEST thing for tailgaters a few years ago at a car show. This guy had this sick Bimmer all done up for show and it was pretty fast (supposedly). He noticed me checking out his car and the **** he had playing on all the screens in the cabin. He told me to go check out the rear of the car and he preceeded to get into the driver's seat.
When I looked at the lisence plate, the damn thing flipped up all of a sudden and I was blinded by 6, 100Watt Pia fog lights. They were aimed in all different directions so when he gets tailed by a lowrider, normal, or lifted vehicle, they will be blinded. He had the button wired to a linear actuator that moved the plate and was also the trigger for the lights. He also said that this was his second attempt at it because the first time around, he melted some of the setup due to the heat. He could only use it for short periods of times. He also told me that he went through a toll booth at 120mph and no one caught him. Not sure how true that was but the lights were so damn sick.

Rep Power: 347 I think people should learn Highway etiquette. If you're moving slow in the left lane get out!
Germany's Autobahn is renowned for having no speed limit in most areas. We can't do that here because people can't drive here!

actually, if you can feel it, there is a slight ammount of play between when you press on the brakes and when the Light Vs Actual braking kick in.... So if you lightly Left foot brake, you can stay on the gas and can light up the tail lights with out actually engaging the brakes.

If people are tailgating you in the right lane or on regular city streets, I prefer to get off the gas and go even slower, they will usually get the hint.

I have the same policy when I get tail-gaited. Back when I was with my ex, I used to have to make a long *** drive through the 99 here in California. So usually, I was driving between 80 and 100. THis one time, a big god-damn hick *** truck starts tailgating me when i was already going 85, and wouldn't ge off my ***. So basically, I slowed that bitch down to 25 mph before he passed me. I really hate tail-gaters, and much more lifted trucks that take about 5 miles to the gallon. I get pissed just thinking about it.
