I'm in Rory's camp when it comes to tailgating and speedsters. Just pull over if possible and let them go. It's not worth the hassle of a burn up and the possibilities it brings. I know my car has the beating of most on the road anyway when it comes to top speed or acceleration in the right place and time.
Case in point, going to the local swimming pool last evening in the outside lane of a two lane dual carriageway with a 40mph limit, I had an Audi A4 diseasle practically in my boot such was his insistence on being in front of me. I pulled across to the inside lane and he gave me the benefit of his prowess by speeding up to 60+mph and pulling in front of me again in the inside lane.
Oh did I laugh when an unmarked BMW traffic car behind me pulled out with his blue light flashing. Cue A4 stopped and probably ticketed with a fine and 3points. Just not worth rising to the bait anymore.
