    I'll go the speed limit or stay with traffic, whichever is faster...

    The speed limit in some parts of Arkansas is 70 mph on rural freeways. Why wish ill on your fellow drivers for driving the permitted speed limit? Intentionally hitting the brakes in ANY vehicle when someone is behind you just because you're suffering a bit of road rage makes you no better than the other person breaking the law. In other words, breaking a law because you're ticked off that someone else is breaking another another law of which -you- don't agree with is still illegal.

    When you enter Arkansas on I55 from Missouri, the speed limit for trucks in 65. There is even a sign posted there that says "Speed Limits Strictly Enforced - No Tolerance".

    I don't slam on my brakes when someone tailgates me, I just tap on them.

    Yep, I know the area you speak of. Nothing wrong with tapping on your brakes to let 'em know to back off a bit. There are some areas though where the speed is 70 in the state. Those high end speeders are a detriment to us all.

    I don't tap the brakes, I just get on the radio and tell them that if I have to stop and they run into me, they buy the trailer and what's in it. I hope they have $600,000 cash, plus trailer money, on them.........
