I work odd hours, it means I get to deal with idiots rushing to work while going home. I have nothing but time on my hands, tailgate me and we're gonna do 40 in a 55 keep it up and we'll go slower. Its a speed limit, not a Speed minimum.

I don't brake check people, I don't want to risk their in-abilty to stop and total my rig.

I hate maryland drivers, they are pretty much all <censored>.

Good to know that's what I have to look forward to when I move down there in the next year. As for NJ, they all drive like **** too. Between the New Yorkers doing 90 while yapping on their phones and the old fogies who couldn't find their gas pedal if you glued their foot to it, it's amazing they bother to post a speed limit at all! :

[1997ddzj]

Usually people dont tailgate me cause I get outta the way before they get that close. But if someone is gonna be a moron about it i usually just take my left foot with the gas still applied, and tap the brake a few times. And if that dont work **** em. When i get over ill get over. Theyll get over it.

This is in the same vein but a little bit of the opposite...

I was driving south on 95 with my significant other during a snow storm (highway was just wet, but still...) As I'm being passed by a line of cars (mind you this is a 2-lane highway) a college kid was getting on the highway on my right. I'm doing exactly the speed limit as we approached Bangor. I usually move over for people getting on the highway, just as a courtesy but seeing as I was being passed by people, I couldn't do that without cutting someone off.

The kid getting on the highway proceeds to speed up to match my speed, then continues driving in the breakdown lane, well after the onramp ended. He continued driving in the breakdown lane, honking at me and flipping us off. I chuckled and maintained my speed.... he's got the yield anyway!

Well, he finally speeds up (guess he forgot his car came with the fancy invention called brakes since he isn't restricted by local laws such as yielding into traffic at an onramp) and gets in front of me, then proceeds to slow down to TWENTY mph... I put all my lights on (couple sets of fogs and my high beams) and honk at him. Again, I would pass but now people are passing us like we're standing still... it's a 65mph zone. he brakechecks me and I lock up my tires which, with 12.5" wide makes one hell of a loud racket. He finally speeds back up to highway speed after playing this antic for about a mile.

Talk about trying to cause an accident. The best part of all is, we had a kayak on the roof. I was praying that the ratchestraps would let go and the kayak would shoot through his back window when he brakechecked me. Here in Maine, they changed the laws so if you brakecheck people, it's flagged as reckless driving and intent to cause an accident (or something to that effect). He would have had a good time explaining to the officer why he was driving south with a kayak sticking out the back window of his little bmw.

what ya gotta do is slowly let off the gas and coast to a slow. it doesnt look like youre being an *** cause your brake lights dont come on but it sure is funny

[lateralus3]

i had a friend that had his reverse lights wired up to a toggle switch on his dash. he never had a problem with tailgaters

[cgradd59]

the best is if you have a stick and they have been tailgatin you and you end up on a hill where you have to stop. you just roll back and scare the hell out of them

[asf06]

i like to downshift. no brakelights. -2 gears slows down pretty fast. gets the point across

Anyways coming home a few days ago for Thanksgiving break, I was driving down 495 (if you dont know what 495 is, its the major F'ing highway that goes around DC and everything)

Anyways this is a 4 lane on each side major highway. I'm in the far left lane driving along when a guy switches lanes in front of me. Now mind you, there were three other lanes he could have driven in and there was very little traffic so it wasnt like he was going around someone. When I say gets in front of me it was like he purposely did it so I would be on his ***.

Once again, I'm in the fast lane...im not moving over to go around someone who shouldnt be driving that slow in the first place. He proceeds to start brake checking the hell out of me, and having such a high COG and moving at a decent speed it was pretty damn scary. I finally got fed up and went around him to which he proceeds to get right up on my *** and put his high beams on. Of course he's driving a little car so the high beams didnt have much of an effect. I contemplated letting him run into the back of me but it wasnt worth my time.

Long story short, I hate driving sometimes.

I have reverse flood lights that love to get switched on to drivers like that....

[njmrenegade]

i tease them, slow down to 10km below when there are solid lines (no passing) and speed back up to 10km above speed limit when they can pass

It's a law in every state. It's not jurisdictional. And it's non-negotiable. You got the lights on, you get a ticket. Easy money for the municipality.

Maybe, just maybe some of these self centered penis wrinkles will get the hint that you're only allowed two white and two amber lights to be visible from the front of the vehicle when closer than 2000 feet of another moving vehicle. The only exception is marker lights on trucks. So two white (headlights) and two amber (turn signals/parking lights) are all that's allowed. Anything more and it's a ticketable offense.

Any cops on here? What do you think?

Please cite the V.C. sections for all 50 states if you're going to make blanket statements like this. I for one do not believe you. If you can't, please stop spreading the BS...

Oh, and yes, I drive with my driving lights on all the time (hence the term 'driving lights'.)

I have this sticker on my Jeep; funny thing -- I don't get tailgated...

Finally on the highway he stays behind me like he is trying to prove something. I am in the far right lane and there is plenty of room for the vette to pass me on the left. He stays behind me for about another mile and a half. He finally passes me and looks at me like Im the ******* for not going 30 over the speed limit. I go about 5 over cause the Jeep doesnt like going that fast.

Is it me or do people think that the Jeep is a sports car or something?

This case was probably him drafting off your jeep to help with fuel.
Kinda some pendajos do to semis.

I don't so much as have a problem with the Extra lights people use within reason, because everyone needs to see where they are driving.
But , I do have issues with them being Improperly adjusted.

Everyday I face oncoming people using their "Driving Lights" that are improperly adjusted, blinding me in my lane.
I take the time necessary to adjust my lights, and use then in the proper place.
ie: out in the low to non existent lighting in the back country, or rural roads.
But I do turn them off when I see oncoming traffic, because of a Courtesy to Oncoming Traffic.
The need to use them in developed, suburbs, or inter-urban areas is ridiculous IHMO, but again it is my humble opinion nothing more.
It's how I was raised...

Respect Others Rights, and Right to their Opinion

I also agree about the spread of Disinformation, there is no need to post unless you can site all the proper codes.

Remember there's no need to piss through the keyboard, it's the internet, not a UFC match.

I was heading back to collage going up I-75. I’m in the right lane in my 86 CJ& doing 70 which is pushing it pretty hard. This little Honda civic ricer came flying up and road my a** for a while. There was very light traffic it was 1am. The civic stayed on my *** and then started flashing me. This really pissed me off. So I used a trick my buddy taught me I held up 2 1 ½” ball bearings so the civic could see them (bikini top on). Stilled kept right on so I reached back in my center counsel opened a bag that had big marshmallow in it. And tossed 2 of em’ toward the back of the jeep that worked.


My brother is a voluntary firefighter and he has strobes in his head and tail lights. He also has a light bar with 2 red lights that stick to the windshield. He will slow down and pull over let them pass. Then he clicks on the light and speeds up. They pull over and stop its funny when we drive by them.
