Most people tailgating don't give a crap about your bumper stickers and what you're fiddling with in the back seat and stuff. Having a sticker commenting that they're speeding and that you're not slow honestly just makes you look like an old granny behind the wheel who thinks they're doing the world a favor by contributing to traffic slowdown.

Best way to deal with tailgaters is to consider your own driving first, if you're barely skirting at the speed limit or blocking available lanes it might be time to move over, or accelerate and get over. Passing another car at 1 MPH means you're honestly being more of a hazard as well and most truck drivers will tell you the hammer lane isn't for "driving"; its for passing.

Half the reason they hate people tailgating them is because people like to granny past them with little warning which makes paying attention to blind spots nerve-racking. If you're in the left hand lane, its to pass. Its not there to drive and saunter along traffic; a loaded transport truck is huge and its easier to drive not having to constantly stare at a four in your mirror making sure you don't scare them and tag them.

I've drafted transport trucks and some don't mind, but %99 of the time someone slowly irks up behind is because they're on cruise control...and plan to pass on cruise control at the speed of continental drift.

That all being said! You do still get people in far too much of a rush, and often I simply make their lives as difficult as possible to entertain myself knowing that if I could drive anywhere to get away from them I would and their effort is futile. Being tailgated in freeway traffic is pretty hilarious because I am unaware why people think I'll somehow be able to go faster.

And, the classic of course, the unexpected brake-check...never goes out of style, but that's me. Check your skirt at the door. Then again I'm in Canada so the worst I've ever got is "dude bro dude what the dude dude oh my dude you dude suck dude what the dude hell bro dude bro!".
