Stop and go traffic? This is the most retarded reason to tailgate. Why do you need to be 4 inches from my bumper when we aren't even moving at all? Anyhow, I leave 2+ cars in front, brake very early, accelerate very slowly, hopefully they'll get the message: YOU AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE.
Pretty much what I do. I do around 80. If someone wants to go faster by all means let me get over so you can take what would've been my ticket.

Although what bothers me even more than tailgaiting is people that ride in the passing lane and don't get over. Drives me insane. That is when I will become the tailgaiter real quick. That is unless it's clear they have no where to go. In PA it is illegal to be in the passing lane unless you are passing.
