Yeah you are better off just ignoring them by pulling off your speed away at the light trick Anthony you run the risk of a cop seeing you speed and not seeing the other guy tailgate then you get yourself into trouble or you run the chance of the guy getting road rage and then chasing you can never know what kind of power a given ride might have dont assume that you can out run someone and it is a danger to speed anyway unless you have no other recourse like your life being in danger.
I had a guy once pull out in front of me on the highway once so I slowed down and kept a good distance when a chance came I went to pass but had to back off when another car was coming head on(not sure who designed the roads in FL).I guess the driver in front of me(who had just cut me off) thought that I was trying to road rage him and he pulls off the road and then gets right back on again about two cars behind me.So I don't think much of it until I come up on a red light with a parking lot on the right side of the road I look back and here comes the dude almost beside me in the lot in his van.I look up and hes pointing his finger at me so I pull up some more I look again and I can see a freaking .357 or .44 revolver in the ----ers hand aimed at my car(I had tinted windows and I think he thought someone was in the passenger seat) lucky for me even though at red light nothing was coming so I take off like a bat out of hell I went about 100 MPH and the dude was keeping up so I really nail it got up to about 140 and he could not keep up and gave up I did not have a cell phone that day and pulling my gun was not a good idea seeing as he had the jump on me in the parking lot.
All that and I did not by my own intent express road rage at him all it takes is some zapped out meth head in his ride already paranoid and then you piss them off some how.Better to not find out what kind of anger management the bad driver has and just ignore the tailgating sooner or later they will get caught or crash.
