Few years ago?

Question

i was riding in an unknown area, very twisty and mountainous. a car followed me closely for the last 5-7 miles and was constantly hitting the horn. i know the speed limit says 40 but was doing about 35 and this person was very angry. since i am not familiar with the road with all the blind curves, do i have a right to take it easy? what to do with drivers like that? can you report to the police??

Answer 1

Had a wet/back pull that on me in GA  on a twisting two-lane.  I'd shot the sonofabitch if the O.L. hadn't been with me.

Answer 2

thats were loud pipes come in handy.just pull in the clutch and rev it up off and on and when going up hills give it a little extra juice. need no cops there is enough people in jail now.

Answer 3

Tailgating is illegal. It's not illegal to be angry. I'm with you on taking it easy. I'm no longer fearless on my motorcycle. Having said that, if it's more than a few minutes, I'll try and pull over and let the guy by, if it's possible without risking my own safety. If it's not possible, then it's not. If the guy was totally endangering you, you should report him if you can. I know it sounds lame, but you are doing him a favor. He needs to relax and not endanger people.

Answer 4

I keep a handfall of ball bearings in my jacket pocket.They go over my shoulder and by by windshield!!!

Answer 5

Ease over and let him pass, then flip him the bird.

Answer 6

drive real slow just to tick them off or if it makes you nervous let them pass.

Answer 7

It is kind of a d**k move on their part to ride your tail like that.

But as a courtesy you should let them by at the earliest opportunity (at a turnout, etc.) No point in wasting heartbeats on them or letting them spoil your ride.

Answer 8

Yes you can report them to the police, actions like that are considered road rage and most states have laws against such behavior. You have every right as long as it's not a highway, Most states have a minimum speed on them.
