    if you allow them to pass im sure they will,dont speed up as the road clears a bit,dont sit in the middle of your lane.keep to the left and maintain your speed and they will.
    (well i would).

    But until you get an opportunity to pass you need to tailgate:confused:

    You would find if you drove a tad further back, you would have a better view of the road ahead;)

    Unless its icy (scared of icy roads:eek: ) I'm normally doing the speed limit, so I can't for the life of me work out why it happens so much.

    i dont know you or your driving style,im offering the other side of the coin,im the guy getting stuck behind slow annoying driver taking the kids to school,not knowing which lane they should be in,im doing 30 so stuff you.
    thats what im talking about.
    it is not directly aimed at you,just an offering of why you may be causing someone to tailgate you.
