    Is the person tailgating because you’re going slow?

    And when you drive slow everyone is going to start to pile together into a big group and that only serves to make safety worse. You’re not doing something good by doing this, let them get away from you if you value safety.

          Letting them pass. If it’s a 4 lane highway get in the right lane and drive a speed different from the car next to you.

          So, slow down? If it’s a multilane road they’re going to overtake. And I think it’s disingenuous to assume they’re choosing to go under the speed limit in the fast/over taking lane.

          Based on context its far more likely this is happening on a single lane road, which, generally speaking, you’re more likely to drive near the speed limit on anyway. And I’d rather someone tailgate me at a low speed than a high speed, if they’re going to tailgate either way.
