Try it as a cure for being tailgated (assuming you are not being unreasonably slow).

The secret is to do it imperceptibly. Never show them you are doing it deliberately and NEVER apply the brake lights or they will know it is deliberate. Engage a lower gear instead and do it with the accelerator. After a short while they keep their distance. One of the best tricks I've ever learned from a motoring magazine!

Next best anti tailgating strategy is place yourself in front of someone pissing about with their phone or eating McDonalds at the wheel. They always leave a huge gap and are sure to help you miss the lights if you are unlucky enough to be behind them!

Driving in main flow of traffic. Virihcal coming towards you stops to let something out of side road. Exspects you to stop to give way too. Or you get hit by virhical. I almost got hit by a large hgv for this reason. Got into a major argument with the hgv. Just because the other driver stopped, dose not mean I have to. The highway code is there for a reason- use it.

And others stopping and blocking box junctions on roundabouts. I'm going the other way, and you've blocked me.

So, you're on the motorway, legitimately passing a line of cars in the next lane that are going slower than you and you're going at the speed limit....when from behind a car appears at speed flashing its lights expecting you to pull over into the slower moving lane, often when there's no space to do so safely....

In an ideal world yes, but we all know that doesn't happen and besides I've had it happen to me in the middle lane as well as the fast lane - plus the "fast lane" doesn't and shouldn't mean the "speeding lane"

It's for overtaking so technically it is the speeding lane. If someone wants to go faster than you just let them go.

Oh I let them go....when it is safe for me to move across a lane to let them do so!!

What irritates me is the arrogant expectation that I'll immediately clear their path because they are tailgating me flashing their lights having approached at speeds well over the speed limit.

As for going at 70 in the overtaking lane, whilst overtaking, that's the speed limit so have no issue with that.

Now if someone is in the fast lane and not overtaking and has space to move across then absolutely they shouldn't be there.

They know that they can get away with it in the fairly safe knowledge that someone will be leaving a big gap because they want to fiddle with the phone etc and only glance up occasionally to see if the queue is moving,

If they can't find the gap the next best choice is probably jump in front of you, unless they have misjudged your character!
