aggressive drivers wont stop tail gating just because one person decided to act all pissy about it and slam on the brakes.
I hope you do realize that even though you might "feel better" like you're dealing out justice that the cops don't. You're also instigating the act of "stepping over the line"
being tailgated is one thing, risking the life of other people because you slam on the brakes and cause people to flip on on 2 wheels or whatever, is pretty lame and just as wreckless, if not more so, than tail gating.
stooping to the level of an aggressive driver just creates a volatile situation, and any cop will tell you that. Get out of the way if you don't like it. Maybe you're not driving as fast as you think you are. and maybe the person behind you doesn't agree with you on what "fast" constitutes.
Hell, it's hard for me to get my car up to 70 around here much less 80, which is what i'm used to from back home. People around here drive like they have the cars stuck in 3rd. it's very frustrating and yeah, I will drive faster to get past you, I don't continuously tailgate but if I see a lone car blocking the left lane with all this free space in front of him and he has rom to get over to the right, then I'll be on his ass giving him the "body language" hint that my car would like to be in front of him.
