- When worst comes to worst, and nothing reasonable gets the tailgater off your
- tail, there's always the option of ignoring your superior horsepower/weight
- ratio, and using your superior brainpower/weight ratio instead. Pull
- into a different lane, and slow down enough to force him to pass,
- then get behind him. Yes, this wasn't an option in the original scenario.
- So pull onto the shoulder, slow or stop for a few seconds, to get him
- ahead of you, and then use your superior accelleration to get you
- safely back into the traffic flow.
