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?

That isn't what POLAR BEAR posted. That is what Blue Eagle posted. (stopping dead) Do not lose sight that most of us are reasonable human beings. I can't remember being tailgated here more than once or twice in ten years. I have been passed a few times each year, usually at high season. Stay Calm and Carry On.
