I bet OP is one of those people who feels like it's their job to make sure everyone goes slow enough on the road. If you feel you're in danger, pull onto the shoulder and let the guy past. We do it all the time in TX as a courtesy to someone behind us. If there's no shoulder, turn off and wait for the sweat to dry off the wheel for a little bit. Maybe take a walk to calm down for a minute.

IMO, people who bitch about "tail gaters" are self righteous "Boy Scouts" that are some of the most dangerous people on the road. The left lane is for passing and if you are "cruising" in the passing lane, then you are wrong. So instead of being apologetic about violating the rules of the road and resolving to drive more carefully in the future you come here to discuss passive aggressive ways to potentially cause death/gross bodily harm to other drivers who are simply trying to circumnavigate your mobile-psychosis. And here happens to be a forum dedicated to firearms, which leads me to believe you might have guns. That's absolutely terrifying to me.
The times I've been "tail gated", I was in the passing lane when I shouldn't have been. I felt bad for not following the rules of the road and accelerated to get out of the way as quickly/safely as possible-for I was in the wrong. I've never considered a pre-meditated "brake check" or attempting to block another drivers view as both actions could kill somebody. "Well officer, I felt like he was tail gating me, so I deliberately obscured his view so when he went to pass me because I'm a sociopath, he probably didn't see that school bus he hit head on". If I was on a two lane highway and I felt like I was being "tail gated" on a two lane, I would pull over and yield the road. then again, I don't have a tiny prick and I'm not a sociopath so YMMV... |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
on a highway with a passing lane (left lane) and a right lane MOVE THE FUCK OVER AND LET THEM BY. it's easier, and if there's nobody in front of you, that is what you are supposed to do anyway. Playing passive aggressive games on the road is 1/2 of the reason for the problem. The tail-gating person is 1/2 (unless there is a traffic jam, and there's no way they can go faster even if you let them by) in normal traffic conditions. The slow fucktard in the left lane that refuses to let anyone around them is the other 1/2. If I'm on a one lane road (one lane each direction), I will find a safe spot to pull off and let them around. It gets rid of the problem, and it is less likely to lead to "issues." I've been on some long road trips this summer, and there were times like this, like up in mountainous roads, where you had to wait for a turnout. I am scrupulous about turning out to let faster traffic pass when I've got a "tail" behind me on a mountain road. I HATE having a tail. I almost get into a panic, desperate to find a place to pull over and let them pass. It's not like I don't give a damn. Nothing is worse than some asshole who mopes along on a mountain road, while a bunch of cars are crawling along behind him. But some douchebags have no patience and will start tailgating immediately, on a two-lane road, regardless. I got a speeding ticket (my first ever) while on vacation this summer, and by damn I made sure I didn't go over the speed limit for the rest of the trip. I did always get in the right lane, or pulled over as soon as I found a turnout. If someone had a problem with me going the speed limit, they could go suck it. I always was as considerate as humanly possible, without risking another speeding ticket. |

For people who haven't figured it out, if there is a cop around, and you decide to do one of your funny brake checks, you can expect to get hooked for Reckless Driving, or whatever it is called in your state. You are creating an intentional high likelihood of causing injury to not only the person behind you, but to others on the road. ONE witness saying you did a brake check can easily get you the same thing. You can claim all you want that a squirrel ran out in front of you, but that excuse is only working in your mind because you aren't thinking straight and you want a little revenge at that moment.
What do you think is a larger issue in the minds of the judge, leo, and those in the jury box? A tailgater, or someone who intentionally put everyone on the road at risk? The people in oncoming traffic aren't playing the games of the two involved vehicles, and neither is anyone else in the roadway. When your car is impounded, and you are booked into jail, remind yourself in a smug manner of how you showed everyone else you were boss. I can guarantee you the rest of the people on the road will be happy to see it all go down. |

Around here that's the only time you get stuck behind these dicks, typically with a mile or two of traffic behind you. 45 in the passing lane of a 6 lane 60mph road is unacceptable. Brake checking in that circumstance is asking to get run over. |

ill put my driving record up against anyones. people drive like assholes. i typically drive 2-3 mph over the limit around here on the two lane roads. if i get a tailgater, ( really close), i will just slow down as long as they are still on my ass... they can tailgate me at 30-40 mph all the way to town if 58mph is too slow for them. |

Some of you guys have some fucking issues.
OP, if you are all alone in that left hand lane and people are up your ass, maybe it's time you move to the right lane and follow that whole "slower traffic stay right" train of thought. If you aren't the only one in the left lane and you're stuck behind someone in front of you, then let the tailgaters do what they do. The only thing you have to be worried about is them rear ending you because they were following too closely. Your way to fix it is to brake check? About the only surefire thing you could do that INCREASES your likelihood of being rear ended?

Tailgaters are scum of the earth and should choke themselves. Left lane sitters are scum of the earth and should also choke themselves. I'll do the speed limit on two-lane, but tailgaters can all kiss my ass on any kind of four-lane. Go the fuck around, Dipshits. Not all tailgaters are behind people sitting in the left lane. Many tailgaters do it to people doing the speed limit in the right lane, even when there is room to go around. They usually pass when you slow down even 1mph. However, some don't get the hint and tailgate for no apparent reason. For them, I call Open Season, Any Method. If I'm doing the speed limit and can't see your headlights...you're about to get your wake up call. I usually slow down gradually until they go around. That works about 99.5% of the time. They are impatient people and will move on to tailgate their way to their destination. As my favorite uncle used to say, "There are only two types of drivers that I can't stand...Those in front of me, and those behind me." |

If you can't drive a reasonable speed for the conditions and speed limit, then get over to a different lane or pull over periodically to let people pass.
If the person in front of you is driving a reasonable speed for the conditions and speed limit, then you need to just fucking deal with it and not act like an ass. If you are quite obviously the only person driving anywhere near the speed limit and you now have 30 people behind you, pull the fuck over and let them pass. No point in leading around your own personal army of pissed off drivers. Guys, this isn't rocket science. |

I see this a lot on a country road I travel. Speed limits moves up and down from 35 mph to 45 mph and is patrolled for speeders. I usually go about five over and I have plenty of tailgaters on their cell phones riding me the whole trip until it pours out to a four lane.
They dont pay my speeding tickets so I try to stay close to the limit. These people want to do 60 mph. |

I'm not driving on the tiny shoulder and grass where all the glass beer bottles are because some dumbass has to go 20mph over vs my 15, he can back the fuck off and wait till a passing zone when I'll slow down for a minute and let him pass.

Just get the fuck out of the way. Why is this so difficult?? You realize this isn't always an option...I drive 99% of the time on curvy 2 lane roads with a tiny shoulder and I have people ride my ass even when I'm doing 15mph over the speed limit. I'm not driving on the tiny shoulder and grass where all the glass beer bottles are because some dumbass has to go 20mph over vs my 15, he can back the fuck off and wait till a passing zone when I'll slow down for a minute and let him pass. This. All you SoCal folks should be familiar with the Ortega Hwy between SJC and Elsinore. Same shit, except I'm in a Nissan PU and Mr Porsche Asshole is behind me. No place to pass, my first foray through the gravel he may have thought was an accident. The second, longer run was obviouly not. Oh now he mad.. |

I had a great one on I-15 on the Idaho Utah border. I'm driving the '49 Plymouth going 55 in the right lane. Guy comes up behind me doing 80-85. That's normal since it's a 75 zone. Instead of changing lanes he brakes hard and then proceeds to tailgate me close while talking on his phone. We are the only people on the road. After a few minutes I signal and pull into the left lane. He instantly accelerates back up to speed as soon as my car isn't in front of him.

"Move over to the right lane." Yeah, that works if you are being an asshole in the first place by cruising in the passing lane. Douchebags here love tailgating people in the right lane, two-lane highway, or two-lane country road. I'm not pulling off to the side of the road because the same douches toss their glass bottles there. If they want to tailgate, then I'm slowing down to the posted speed limit or 5 under and we'll take the scenic route.
