Whats the best maneouver for intimidating drivers who come up behind u where theres nothing u can do?

Question

Hi, I have found myself in situations, where there are drivers who just pull up behind me in the fast lane, and I cant take a left cause there is a lot of traffic, and there is traffic in the front. What do you do?

Answer 1

Spray your windshield for 15 seconds, make sure it is really clean.

Answer 2

what i do is slow down just getting slower and slower. until they back off.. this is the event that causes chain reaction collisions..

Answer 3

If you can't move over to the right or to the left, simply take your foot off the gas so you start slowly slowing down. Don't tap your brakes as this may startle the driver behind you. slowing down will increase your distance between you and the car ahead of you. Which will help just in case the jerk behind you does manage to rear end you. Once you get slowed down enough, they will move around you.

Answer 4

Continue driving at the speed limit. slow down if they get on your ***!!

Answer 5

Never let another driver drive you!

To speed up to clear the traffic in the slow lane only encourages them  to do it again.

To try to intimidate then is to stoop to the level they are at.

So just maintain your cool and move over when you can.  Any other action may result in problems for someone else.

I have been known to move my mirror, so they will know that I am not  worried about their front bumper. But if they can't take a hint, I just  ignore them.

Answer 6

brake check

Answer 7

Maintain your cool. Put your 4 way emergency flashers on. The driver may back off.

Answer 8

Intimidation should not be your focus. Clearing your slower vehicle from the fast lane should be. Your approach will likely end in harm for someone.

Answer 9

Try tapping your brakes,that's what I do and usually works unless the other driver is just being a .... otherwise you can just slow down and they will have to or else they will pass. Just be careful,cause if it's a dd they may not notice and rearend you. I know it can be scary sometimes,but if they come up fast or appear to be swerving,speed up a little if possible or pull off to the right and wait for them to pass.

Answer 10

simply slow down sufficiently by making your brake lights visible enough to deter the driver on your tail hence slowing down and keeping your distance, and when its safe to do so let them pass.

Answer 11

This usually happens on a 2 or 3-lane road...You're kind of stuck...Hold your position and maintain your speed...The maniac behind you has the problem...That driver is driving too fast for conditions, following too close and intimidating other drivers (in most places, that's a no-no)...Turn your rear view mirror away from you so the vehicle cannot be seen directly...When you see a spot where you can change lanes, SIGNAL in advance to let the jerk behind you know what you are going to do...Ease on over and watch the lead foot get stuck again behind the one who was in front of you.

The first rule of driving faster than everybody else is that there will always be somebody going slower in front.
