Burn them off. Doesn’t always work.
Implement a slow speed competition without telling them. Doesn’t always work
Ask them nicely to go ahead or back off. Doesn’t always work.
Ask them not so nicely. Doesn’t always work.
Warn them of imminent snot rocket. Usually works.
Snot rocket, no warning. Gloves off!! (And often works).
My suggested order is last two. As someone who’s nose either drips or runs like a faucet (rarely stays dry, and I can’t/won’t sniff it in endlessly), this malady can be used in self defence apparently.

People always use to try to draft me in Victoria. All year long. It was annoying as ####. It's all the hotshot that train year round.
Eventually this stopped after some tactics because it was always the same people generally.
- Brake check
- asking them to stop- never worked they get all upset.
- back when I use to drink alot and smoke weed I was often hung over but still going 30 to 42 kms I would just let a big old fart out. Lol . All you'd hear is "WTF!" either they would back considerably off or just finally pass.
- I'd just start randomly swerving.
- Take water like a boxer and just spit it out .
