I hate tailgaters. I am very observant of urban speed limits, often going slower than posted 30 if necessary. Sit and wait at exactly 30 until the main road limit sign is passed. Then toe down in fourth (diesel engine, so loads of shove even at under 1500rpm) and watch 'em disappear in the mirror. If you want a really good result then use third as you get a nice sooty cloud from the exhaust too.

When they finally catch up again, I slow back down to exactly the posted limit.

And off we go again!!

Worst offenders are generally females. This is not me being sexist, it's just obseravtion and reporting facts.

And they do it in the silliest little tiny low powered and poorly braked cars.
