What is a safe way to rid your rear end of a dangerous driver. The scenario.... cars in the middle lane safe distant apart traveling 60 to 65mph I'm overtaking 70 mph safe distance from cars in front conditions cold, clear but dark (7.45am). " If a motorist (?) persists in driving 12 to 14ft away your rear bumper at 70 pushing you to 80mph in the outside lane with nowhere for you to go , is it such a good idea to 'brake' giving them a fright of their lives causing them to flash their lights sound their horn, and in an obscure form of sign language express what a foolish manoeuvre one has made. Of course one must ignore the fact that 7 people died on the very same motorway the previous day, and the radio warnings to drive with care." Or do I have carry on ignoring this motorists presence. 'Brake' reduction of speed by approx 1mph to 2mph
