Tailgaiting

oh yeahhhhhhhhh

Downshifting your car to run the tailgating bloke off the road has never felt better! It feels like I have Jedi powers-the ability to sway the trajectory of 2,000lb objects without even touching them.....is sweet.

What caliber weapons do you automatic transmission drivers use to fend off tailgating wankermobiles?

bah, the old take the foot from gas pedal trick... then speed off when he tries to cut from the right

Lol, there's nothing like a quick 'brake check' when being tailgated. Just a touch of the brakes, not even enough to slow you down, but enough to make your brake lights flash. Watch the muppet behind you shit his pants

You must be driving too slow

If I ever see someone tailgating me I put the foot down and leave them byeeee

In a bad mood I either slam the brakes, or let them past and tailgate them back only closer.

If my lights aren't already on, I just flip them on, the person obviously thinks theyre my brake lights and hits their brakes, and then once they stay on for a while, he realizes they were just the tail lights and feels like a silly goose.

I used to do that, but then I realised that 2 tonnes of steel up my arse wasn't how I wanted to end my day.

These days I just slow down ever so slightly, again, again and again, watching with glee at the look on their face in the mirror.

As soon as they move out from behind me I touch the pedal just slightly enough to move up so that my car's front bumper is 3 foot off the back off the car in the adjacent lane's back bumper, therefore leaving the annoying tailgater stuck behind the driver in the other lane, but with a maddeningly "just not big enough" gap to change again and get in front of me. We like to call this "the scrape off", which can also be done very nicely with parked cars.

As soon as they move back behind you, you repeat the whole process, maintaining a look of innocence the whole time, even when they finally zoom past you spitting chips and frothing at the mouth.

Another one I like is smiling and waving like a retarded 6 year old at people who've given me the finger and want to see the rudeness returned to in order validate their actions, but instead end up getting more pissed off.

lol! I do that as well, just keep slowing down, down to 3rd gear, down, down... and watch as they go insane.

pull the handbrake gently... the tailgater will have no warning and have to slam in his brakes, resulting in he having the car behind him 15 cm in to his rear...

this dickhead tailgated my brother on his bike, kept touching his back wheel and in the end my brother fell off, the bloke tried to drive off and didn't realise 200m ahead was traffic lights so my brother rode past him down the hill, stopped next to his car, spit through into him and then jumped onto the pavement and rode off whilst he couldn't go anywhere, through into a shortcut to freedom

Normally I just try to facilitate traffic and ignore any stupid behaviour, driving normally, but it's hard to remain calm when you're driving already at an above-average speed, and some moron thinks he's going to reach his destination faster by keeping his car 5 cm behind yours all the time.

actually no. I think it's an American tradition.

If there's passing room... brake check.

If there's no passing room... go mind-numbingly slow.

Alternatively, let them get in front of me and then I tailgate them for a while. Yeah, I'm just stooping to their level, but.... ::shrug::

If someone tailgates me obnoxiously bad, I spit my bratwurst out of my sunroof. I have seen it bounce right off of their windshield on occasion. If nothing else it makes me roffle.

No discussion of bratwurst?

Unacceptable.
