Thread Name: BS: How Should I Deal With Tailgating?
Subject: RE: BS: How Should I Deal With Tailgating?
Goodness, Steve, I'm not and never have been on any 'moral mission'. I like to get through life as gently and quietly as possible. And at my age, I'm not about to start any retaliation or confrontational action towards any motorist (or any other person either!) I was simply afraid, and felt rather alone in my little Fiesta. I still think the best suggestion here (from many contributors) is to turn off safely where possible and wait a few minutes, then resume the journey sans twit! I haven't mentioned, have I, that the roads were almost completely empty, which made me a bit more scared. If (God forbid) there'd been an accident or a shunt, the mobile signal is nil and one could lie there injured for ages before anyone happened along. Gulp!
