how to pissoff tailgaters !!!

[Metallic36]

Well, I had my opportunity to do this tonight, some dick behind me with their brights on, right on my ass, couldn't do anything about it because it was a double yellow lined road, cars in front of me being slow. I usually tap my brakes a good time, but this time I tried the windshield fluid. They backed right off, and I could see their wipers going hehehe I'm amazed by simple things.

in my last car (audi a4) it had a reverse fog light and i put the bulb in the other side so when someone would get on my ass i would turn them it ha it looked like brake lights then i would speed up that was fun i wish this car had them

Yeah that thing is Fckin bright, some people forget that pulling it out all the way turns it on, when they want to just turn on the fogs, they're really blinding people behind them. I would have to use this when some Escalade driver decides that I need to move out of their way.

The best is to find a nice slow-moving semi and get alongside them as if you are going to pass. Then just match speed for a good 5-10 miles until your amusement is so great you can't stand it and the guy behind you is plain livid and making all kinds of obscene gestures. I've once baited someone like this so badly they were looking for any way past me on a 2 laner. There was a police officer in the median on the other side of an overpass, somewhat hidden as they attempt to be, and I slowed from the 64 matched speed I was doing until the semi was actually pulling ahead. The guy behind me had enough and jerked his van out to the left of me onto the shoulder and floored it; I don't think he saw the cop. Well, about the time he was even with me he was concerned with flipping me off, etc., so I took opportunity to speed up a little and match his speed, causing him to gun it further. He sure was humbled when we went past the overpass and he was almost in the grass, I was innocently holding my own lane against a psycho. That's when I (fuoops) and kept going while the cherries popped and chased him down.

Another time I was heading to Rockford, IL out of Chicago and there are a bunch of spaced toll booths. Well, I was in my TBird and this Monte Carlo (the Ol' Boy model we've all seen endlessly) kept pacing me and wouldn't just bugger off. The toll booths go to 4 or 5 lanes then following them they taper down to 2. Well we sped out of there and I held the left lane, he the right; he must have thought he was going to 'show me' and cut me off before he got to a slow-moving semi in the right lane. I hadn't fully comitted so he was gaining well, then I saw the semi and pushed it down, determined not to let daddy ass-hat cut me off and have him look the fool. He must have really been a rare pisser; he pushed it too long and had no chance of getting ahead of me, he must have felt he could push the beater by will alone. Regardless, he failed triumphantly and hit his brakes too late, skidding up under the back bar of the semi that hangs down under the tail. He wasn't hurt, the car didn't get stuck or anything, just 'rrrrrrrrt' then 'crunch' then release and the nose was all crispy, lmao. He wouldn't look over at me as he began slowing and pulling to the side, just behind the semi who must've been thinking, "What in the F***?!"

Hehe. (angel)

Not to pass judgment on you, but strictly based on what you wrote you kind of sound like a jerk. lol~ (your driving that is...)
Spraying like the others wrote is one thing, but getting someone into an accident is totally different. -_-

Okay okay I know, it was like 11 years ago I did that. I didn't really get him into the accident, I just wasn't going to let him cut me off. It was his choice to keep speeding and not to slow down; honestly, that's like saying it's my fault people are homeless because I didn't do anything to help. My only crime was defending my lane and driving so I couldn't be cut off dangerously.

lol~ it's all good if you've changed your driving habits.
I've done my share of dumb (& dangerous) things when I was younger (and dumber -_-;; ). My friends still bring up how I managed to plow down a tree, destroying my car... I don't think they will drop it ever. *^_^*

 

[SwampAss]

LOL - I know when I had my S2000 the guys on the forums use to say to carry a few tiny ballbearings in your car and when somone was on your ass all you had to do was thumb a couple up and out the vert. They swore it worked great

Felony in Va.

I would like to say something in defense of some tail gaters. What I mean is that if you're a person who seems to always be getting tail gated, chances are the problem is you, not them. I personally don't tail gate because I just don't like being that close to another vehicle (I have no faith in the skill of other people on the road) but I do come up behind cars that are in the far left lane that are driving with or slower than the speed of traffic.

This s*** really pisses me off and I don't really care what the speed limit is. If you're getting passed by everyone on the right and you're just cruising in the far left lane, you're a moron.

 

[Sacrilicious]

the one problem with the windshield wiper fluid trick is that it's also got to go onto your car as well...=/ i hate having to use the fluid, because even though it cleans the windshield, it makes the rest of the car nasty from dribble. laaame! (argh)

Speaking of which... what isn't a felony in VA? I think even spamming is a felony here. Not that I'm a spammer. ^_^;;

Plenty of those around here. I know it's been said many times on this forum, but generally speaking the U.S. drivers' etiquette is definitely sub-par compared to that of some other countries with tougher regulations.

I don't know if I would even call it etiquette, I think it's an ignorance to the rules of the road. If you are sitting behind somebody in the left lane and they are blocking up traffic, they get pissed as YOU for flashing your lights (twice quickly, not like your trying to give them attitude) to pass.

I think these types of people are selfish and are generally a waste of space. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of my way

Worse... a cop sees you flashing the high beams and pulls you over for aggressive driving. >_<

That's a big problem in general with our country; everyone thinks they are the center of the universe and for the most part many of them don't really even know how to participate in it. But they're all above any wrong doing and if you try to correct them or say/do anything about what you see as an issue than YOU'RE the issue and it's your problem for having a problem with them and suddenly they are justified and 'stay the course' is a noble cause. Gah, so frustrating.

What? Last I remember, this was the correct way to pass in the left lane. I used to live in DC and man, that whole region needs an enema. There is a law for everything you do...I bet even farting would cause you to get fined because of the ozone layer or something.

That's funny but not too far from the reality if the government took global warming seriously enough. Since fart has methane, they say you are technically contributing to the global warming. The scientists have been seriously debating about the dairy cows for sometime now because they apparently fart a ton, producing way more methane (either 100 times or 1000 times... I don't remember) than our automobiles. If it's really true... we might not be eating beef too much longer. >_<

*Sorry for the threadjack. ^_^;;

Man, then Rosie O'donnel must produce TONS of that s*** since she is a big fat cow.

This will devolve to a political flame war if we're not careful.

I strongly discourage taking any action to piss off any tailgaters. Don't mess with road rage, you never know who is behind the other car's wheel and what kind of a mental status he/she has. Besides, I usually drive quick enough that I am seldom tailgated.

The other day I was driving and this ahole was weaving in and out of traffic on a normal city road. I was minding my own business and he almost weaved into me while I was in Akemi (my baby) and I freaked and sat on the horn. It was a dirty g/d hippy that looked exactly like Chuck Manson with dreads and a bad old ratty Carhart coat he probably got at goodwill. He gave me the worst look, then paced me about 1/2" from my car on the left. My fiance was freaking out. We were w/o her daughter at the time, thankfully. When we got to a light the m/fer leaned down under his seat and I was not about to flinch at some dirty hippy; I knew what he wanted me to think. I ignored his ass and as we were pulling away my lady was freaking, "He's really close and went for something under the seat," "Relax," I said. He kept leaning and as I started to pull away we heard a little pathetic 'pop', I knew immediately it was a party popper, and she was freaking the hell out big time. "I think he has a gun, he shot at us!" I explained it was a party popper and she needed to settle down, in the rearview he thought he was so clever. So clever I fricking PWNed his ass off the line in his bad '86 Camry or whatever it was. Ha-haa! Seriously, though, that happened. There's some ahole hippy driver driving around Indianapolis with party poppers that he aggressively gets people to freak out at his driving, then he scares them with party poppers. I mean, WTF? Social g/d reject. That guy would be better off ground up as feed for cattle so we didn't have 'mad cow' fears by them eating the brains of other cows. Got Hippy? Grind 'em up!

Anybody ever witnessed/heard such a ridiculous thing??!?!?!?
