If in a safe/public area, I would pull over to the side of the road and allow the car to pass. They are apparently in a hurry. If not, I would change lanes to see if the car would continue to pass. If the tailgater continues to follow you, I would turn in a public area like a 7-11 or gas station or police station if available. Make sure it is a public place wtih people in the area.
H
true! but.......... false if they are a aggrivated driver.
Of course you do, and if they crash into you and get hurt it's all their fault!
Expect the worst and be very cautious.Be ready to isolate yourself from the situation.
The law and the police will say no because you'd be intentionally increasing the likelihood of an accident, but maybe if everyone did that often enough, people would actually stop tailgating.
You should maintain the current legal speed. On a two-lane road, move slightly to the side of the road to indicate that the tailgater should pass.For an aggressive tailgater, you can exit the road at a populated area so that he will have to continue on without you.
Change lanes as soon as possible

run away or yell for help
Yes or if you are in fast lane you should move right since you are not traveling fast enough for lane you are in
My view is that it's best to slow right down so the tailgater ends up having to back off or they'll end up going so slowly they'll be at a stop. It's always seemed a bad plan to get faster and faster til you lose them, as obviously there really is no way of knowing how fast you're going to end up going. And if the tailgater speeds up with you, if they do end up crashing into you, at a high speed this will do a lot of damage.
