When being
tailgated, you tap your brakes frantically in
morse code type fashion. You tap them hard enough for the lights to light up, but not to actually slow down. It'll confuse
the tailgater and they will back off. If they continue to tailgate, continue to freak out on the brakes. A skilled driver will be able to brake freak with the left foot while still using the right foot to maintain speed.
The other day someone was
tailgating me, so I did a
brake freakout and they had no choice but to
slow down.
