I am really glad to see this thread today. I really need to find a way to not let tailgaters effect me. I have been having major stomach issues lately and I realized it started about the same time I got my new car. I was rear-ended almost a year ago and I now have damaged in my neck so I am constantly checking the idiots who are behind me. Plus now having a New Car for the first time since 1988!!!
I am completely stressing myself out in traffic. I leave about 2 car lengths in front of me when stopping in traffic and I tap my breaks when someone is approaching from behind to alert them I am really stopped. Then If they get too close, I move up a little - if they move again I tap the breaks like 5 times before moving up a little again. 90% of the time they dont move up again. Honestly, sometimes it feels they are right up my ass but then I will put the car in reverse and my rear camera shows me that they are alot farther back than I thought.
