If some twat is tailgating you, the solution is devastatingly simple. Pull over and let him or her pass.

Sorry, Steve, but that may be easier said than done on some roads. While I agree in principle, I have already said I will help anyone overtaking as much as safely possible it is not always easy on some of our roads. Some of the idiot tailgaters don't seem to realise that and seem to believe that if they put their radiator in your back window a place to overtake will miraculously appear. What is more, I have been in the situation where I have slowed down and pulled over to let them pass only to be given two fingers and a load of abuse from the idiot.

There is simply no excuse for tailgating and by saying it is the fault of "a bit of a twat doing 44 in a 60" seems to be justifying their behaviour. Also there are many 60MPH roads near us, and as many near you I suspect, where it would be dangerous to travel at that speed. It is often not a question of being a twat but being sensible about it.
