Since I have been driving the speed limit, I have noticed that I have been tailgated quite a bit. I can't blame them as I have done my share of tailgating of slower drivers in the past. I try not to tailgate now (although if anyone is driving slower than I am, they are almost certainly below the speed limit). Today, one jerk in a BMW tailgated me half of my drive to work. This wasn't so bad as I have gotten used to it, but it spent most of the time with his middle finger pointed in my direction.
With most tailgaters, I keep myself calm by singing to myself some impromptu song about tailgating, such as Monty Python's song Sit on my Face with the word "face" changed to "butt."

My daughter told me the best tailgating story. Her friend was driving and obviously the fella behind them was in a hurry because he was right on her bumper and also blew his horn. As he accelerated and pulled alongside her car, they were a little worried about a dude with road rage. But when they turned to look, they saw it was a guy in a little car wearing a full-on clown suite, complete with a back seat full of balloons. As he repeating shook his fist, shouted profanities and flipped them the bird, they both fell out and laughed hysterically.
