My car has self levelling headlights, just like most modern euro suv's. The older cars with retro fitted Xenons that are poorly adjusted are the
problem cars. Slamming on your brakes to cause an accident will land you a few charges, driving with undue care and attention and/or dangerous
driving , it's a dogs act.. not tough.

pull off to the side of the road let them pass .
then get on with your journey i have tried this it works.
it is far to dangerous on the roads with road ragers. don't be one !
if you stay calm and composed driving can be less agro. we pay enough in insurance , fines , petrol etc...
public transport is an alternative for a few of us . but the privilege of a drivers licence is not to be taken for granted

thats why you slam the brakes when they tailgate. works every time! they go back into there place quick smart.
or if they keep persisting, just slow down and box them in so that can't pass.
I really don't give a shit about tailagaters, they can kiss my ass.

A friend of mine taught me a good trick. He told me to turn on the rear fog light switch (which I have on my Volvo 240 ) if the dude behind me is
tailgaiting me. He'll see my rear red lights suddenly glowing and then he'll think I'm braking hard - and that would cause him to brake hard as
well. It works btw!
I did it once to do SUV that was tailgating me on the Eastern Freeway. He braked so hard it looked like someone threw a pie into his windscreen. He
wasn't too pleased about it though as he could tell I hadn't actually braked at all.
I had to put up with his antics later on when he rode alongside me to give me his piece of mind.
Pity I don't have such a nifty switch on my Beetle.
I SFH tailgaters, esp. when I'm on the left hand/slow lane and there is an open lane on the right for them to overtake me. Its there! Overtake me
FFS. To be honest it drives me a little batty.
