I usually move into a lane to the right. If there is no right lane available I slow down until they pass.

Move over and let them through. THey are either in a bigger rush than you are or want to brag about blowing past a Z06. (Which will probably get them laughed at if they ever tell the story )

Either way, it's just courtesy to the other driver in my book.

Let him pass....

I know I can't stand it when someone is putting in the fast lane (the lane I'm usually in) so, I try to get out of their way.

Those damn Jersey Drivers.... I hate when people ride the fast lane... a lot of the time, they have NY or PA plates.

But, when you're in the center lane going 65, they are in the wrong. I would downshift and hit that gas and say bye OR I would slow down to a crawl until he moves over, then I would hit the gas and blow bye.

If I am in the middle lane? NOTHING. I am almost always going 5-10 over and if they are on my bumper then they can just move over to the left lane. Now, if I am in the left lane, I will move over as soon as I can because I hate it when people dont.

I roll down the window and point to the left lane. They usually back off or go left. Just like on the track.

Install a Strobe (you know the lights they use in raves that flashes insanely fast) instead of your rear braking light and wire it to a switch on your dashboard. I've seen this somewhere on the web, the guy said it worked kinda good.

PS: use this technique only against aggressive tailgaters that do it without any valuable reason

PPS: none of what I just said should be taken seriously and I can not be held responsible for any accident :close disclaimer:
