I'm not saying cause a road rage incident. But if you're being tailgated and just proceed on like nothing is amiss, you're making a mistake and asking for trouble.

If someone is following too closely for too long, I simply slow down until such time that they decided to go around me. Or on the extremely rare occasion that I'm not keeping up with traffic because I'm going too slowly...I might speed up a bit.
The last thing I would ever do, per the comment above...is to slam on the brakes and come to a stop.
Which makes absolutely no sense...if anyone of even average intelligence thinks about it.
You're worried about someone being too close and hitting you if you have to stop...so you
"stop dead" anyway?
