Tailgators?

Question

What is your response to someone who drives up behind you way too fast and then persists in driving too close behind?

Answer 1

I like to slow down then slam on the brakes.

The look on the other morons face is priceless.

Sometimes you can get the same effect by turning your headlights on. It make the rear lens light up and the goober behind you thinks you are hitting the brake petal.

Answer 2

just keep to the speed limit, ignore them, and drive away to widen the gap.

Answer 3

I put my foot on the brake ever so slightly making the brake light come on but not actually braking therefore they back off..

Or look like your going to stop in some way.. theyde never want to hurt theyre car

Answer 4

I make sure I stick to the speed limit and try to not let them bother me!

Answer 5

If I'm in the left lane on the freeway and somebody does that I get the heck out of the passing lane. If I am driving next to someone on the road at the same rate of speed creating an impassable wall then I speed up or slow down and move over to allow faster traffic to pass. If I'm on a single lane road I proceed normally. Otherwise if the person can't figure out that they can just go around me then I look at them in the mirror and turn around to look at them lot and look at the other available lanes.

Answer 6

slap on the brakes and sue them

Answer 7

I usually kill them.  Unless I'm in a really bad mood, then I mortally wound them and leave them to die slowly.

Answer 8

i hate those kind of drivers. if it happens to you, just hit your brakes, it will be his fault, because he hit you in the rear.

Answer 9

If they are just not concentrating, but otherwise normal, I start swerving from side to side within the carriageway. They usually drop back in case I do something REALLY daft!

If they are morons, and doing it on purpose, then I do an emergency stop. If that doesn't work, and they continue with their  moronic antics I do another emercency stop and climb out of my vehicle carrying a baseball bat in my hand and walk towards their car.

Answer 10

as long as you are not driving under the speed limit just ignore them.

what i find that annoys me in ppls driving is when they drive at 50mph in a 60mph zone but when they come to a 30mph zone they do 40mph now that pi**es me off!

Answer 11

remember,,,,, the speed limit signs tell you the max speed, NOT the speed you should travel at. So if it says 30 you can do 25 if you want to, but 27 would be better. So if you are in a 40 area & you are doing 37 and it ain't rainy or foggy, and you get some **** who wants to sit next to you,,, just slow down a bit and let 'em pass, if the weather is bad, slow up and let them go sooner, if you need to stop quick they will do a lot of damage to your pride 'n' joy.

Answer 12

Keep tipping your brakes.

They run into you their fault.

Answer 13

definately make sure u stay just 2 miles under the speed limit hopefully this will raise their blood pressure to heart attack point

Answer 14

If I'm on my bike then I just lay them to waste !

In my car ?  It means I'm carrying my baby girl so we pull over and let them go about harassing someone else.

Answer 15

It depends. On the higway I get out of thier way by moving one lane to my right.  On single lane roads I usually just ignore them. If they do it real bad I will slow down.
