Considering an old woman got done for speeding while being scared

Its stupid to speed up if you are being tailgated.

You tailgate me and I will slow down.

And I would just ignore the tailgater, or allow him to pass.

The slowing down is to allow him to pass. If neccessary I will slow to
complete stop until the ****wit is out of harms way in fromt of me.

He is tailgating you BECAUSE you are going bloody slow.

Moost lilkely you are being tailgated by someone who is impatient. If I'm
doing 70mph in the outside lane and someone has come up fast beind me,
I'll
pull over when I've finished overtaking the vehicles on the inner lane.

Using a RISC OS computer running v5.18



This morning I was in a van being driven by my son. We were on a main road
heading to his new house. A woman pulled out in front of us in some little
piece of crap that should have had a key sticking up out of the boot, and
proceeded to hold us up for the next three miles at just over 20 mph. We
tailgated her to a distance of about 1 inch, but she was completely unfazed.
No nervous looking in the mirror, no weaving about in consternation -
nothing. Except of course random touching of the brakes every time the car
half a mile in front of her slowed down a tad. We would have gone past her,
except that whole stretch of road is a bit up and down, so has double whites
up the centre for a few miles.
