C) dramatically slowing down when someone tailgates is passive aggressive and only escalates the situation, which reflects even more so on you than the tailgater. I've seen this make tailgate situations worse and view it as "egging on" the tailgater, which I find even more reckless. It's like you're stooping to an even lower level of immaturity.
