If someone tailgates you so closely do you just start going extra slow?

Talking about surface streets, not interstate.
Do you like the brake tap method or do you try to find a slow car next to you and just cruise?

I speed up if for some reason I was going under the limit. If i'm already speeding, I just continue on as is.

Depends. If I'm going 5-10 over the posted speed limit on a city street, they can frick off.

I'll usually move over, if possible.
If not, I'll hit the emergency flashers real quick, so it looks like a brake check.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

Not really because I'm not a dick.
If I look down and see I'm going a bit slow, I'll pick up the pace. If I'm going at an appropriate speed (based on whatever type of street I'm on) I just won't do anything different. If I'm going at a pretty good speed and he's still on my bumper because he's simply a madman, I might ease off the gas and slow down a bit.
Brake tapping does absolutely nothing but put myself at a higher danger of getting rear ended.

I don't brake tap because that is particularly dangerous. I do, however, let off the gas to where I just slow down steadily.

I usually try and let them pass. You never know their situation. I was trying to get my son to the hospital Monday afternoon, and frickers decided they would do 2 below the speed limit. I rode their arse a bit.

Depends on what lane I'm in and if they can go around me without waiting for any other cars.
If yes to that, then I go slow, just not really slow. Some people do tailgate in the right lane even if the left lane is clear, that's what's annoying.

I flail my arms so they can see and they back off

Wait until a red light or stop sign then stop short and quick. If they are far enough up your arse or just tailgating because they aren't paying attention they'll feel pretty stupid.
Alternatively it's fun to act like you're digging around in your console or something looking for something, if they can see you doing it.

I usually keep going whatever speed I'm going.
Defensive driving teaches to slow down if you are being tailgated.

No I put my blinker on and move over to the non passing lane if someone is going faster than me in the left lane.

I turn the music up louder and start with the beer funnel and public urination. They set up further away next time

Be happy you live in La.... I moved to Ga 23 years ago and learned that people here drive like shite. The Atlanta area is the worst. Tailgating is commonplace. I'm not a speeder but will do a little more than speed limit. I will drop 10 mph if I get a jerk-off tailgating me. If they correct I will as well.

I definitely pump my brakes
