A question inspired by the PhD survey elsewhere on this forum, and the questions about being able to avoid being caused to speed by the actions of others

You are driving along a motorway. In front there are two heavies, one overtaking the other (slowly
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
In order to avoid waiting for the next x miles whilst the overtake is completed (or abandoned), you (check etc and) take position in lane3. You of course wait until the 'tunnel' is clear of cars ahead, then accelerate to an appropriate speed past the two heavies. Of course, the driver behind does not wait for the 'tunnel' to clear and tailgates you in

a. Continue at the same speed ("I will not be forced to speed by the actions of others")?
b. Brake to drop behind (causing the car behind to brake also)?
c. Accelerate above your chosen 'appropriate speed' for the overtake (forced to speed by the tailgating car and the weaving heavy)?
d. 'I would have gone past so fast that the weaving wouldn't have affected me'?
Genuine question that occurred to me (the question, not such an incident) whilst driving on the M4 this week...
