shrug my shoulders and rarely think on it again. i'm more likely to give em the benefit of doubt than rant. unless i'm in a haul-ass hurry and stuck behind thatguy in the passing lane that obviously uses the cruise control and some sort of obscure mathmatical theory to match his speed exactly to the speed of the car in the lane next to him.

look at this idiot, would you look at this idiot here just creeping a long, WOAH look at that maniac!!


i like to travel at my own speed if there is some guy traveling at my speed fuck him i slow down, i can keep an eye on that asshole from back here :D


more George Carlin for ya

If I leave out all the bad words ... I don't say anything. :D

Truth is, I try to wish them well ... just doesn't always work.

For people following to close, I'll sometimes flip my lights on and off. Looks for a moment like brake lights but without the quick slowdown that could cause an accident.

i call them something not printable and know that unlike the USA there is very little chance they will be packing wepons.

A recent thing has been my 14 year old son beating me to the punch LOL

For tailgaters I give my brake pedal a few touches to warn them they are too close

You have to hold a license (take a test) for automatic and/or manual shift? Wow! I'd never considered that. When we get a license here (in the US), we are entitled to drive either type, and switch back and forth (if the situation arises) with no need to be tested for the other.

As to the topic, I get angry at folks who think they are "king of the road", or the only person on said road. I DON'T tailgate...EVER! I bide my time and pass the ass safely. If I've passed several speed limit signs and notice that the person in front of me hasn't noticed them and is obviously scared of something or has nowhere to go and all the time in the world to get there...I'll pass him. Ironically, this procedure seems to awaken them or make them fearless and they usually speed up to a more tolerable speed before anyone else can flip them off and pass them. It's miraculous, I tell you!

On the other hand...if I am being tailgated, I brake a bit and hope they back off. Especially if the weather conditions are causing me to go slower than the speed limit and they don't care if they get there in one piece...or if I do, for that matter. I'll usually do the limit (at least), and 5-10 mph over if I "feel" I can get away with it. But, I never purposely drive slower than the limit if I have no good reason to (ie:rain, dark and rain, snow...etc.), and I resent another driver assuming his/her life is more important than mine and I should know this and get out of the way! I won't ever pull aside and let them pass just to get rid of them...if I am driving the limit and there is no reason that they should be tailgating. I'll make them wait, just as I would have to do, to pass me in a passing zone with a safe distance from oncoming cars. That's about when I mouth "fuck you asshole" (slow and overexaggerated) and flip them off! If they start doing shit to me to make sure I know how angry they are...then I did my job well and I smile!

Same here but I have found the best revenge on tailgaters is to wait until you are in an area where they cannot pass and then sloooooow right down. The facial expressions you see in your rear view mirror are priceless..

Once they backoff then and only then do I speed up again
