I'll never understand the drivers who tailgate in the right lane when the passing lane is clear. Seriously, I've had people tailgate me in the far right lane on a three lane highway, when I'm doing 15 over.
My old car I was able to activate the brake lights without applying the brakes. Downshift, step on it, and turn the brake lights on... only ever did it a few times, but the assholes wouldn't use the passing lane for whatever reason. I'm not pulling off, or over if you have a passing lane. Deal with it.

Wait until you see a highway patrolman down the road, then change lanes so they can speed up and get stuffed.

Sorry to dissapoint, but that is not accurate. In Texas the person who rear ended the other vehicle would likely be found to be at fault for following to close. Not saying that they would receive a citation, just that they would be found to be at fault for the crash. That's how most of the crashes like this that I have investigated have written up. Then again, I have never had a driver fess up to brake checking the vehicle in back. I would have to consult the TX DPS CR-100 for guidance if someone ever did. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Brake checking is stupid for two reasons 1. If he doesn't hit you then obviously he was not a danger. So how much of that tailgating was just your opinion? 2.

I have seen quite a few threads on this scourge of society. Tailgaters are just as dangerous as someone going too slow. We all have our stories but I want quick fixes to this problem only in this thread. I will go first. 1) Moving my vehicle as far left as possible in my lane seems to block the vision of the tailgater behind me and 70% of the time they back off. 2) If nothing else works, I will do a brake check using the vehicle in front of me. I will wait for them to turn or come to a stop and wait until the last second to hit my brakes. Reason for this is it isn't perceived as an "intentional brake check". Everyone has seen events get out of control when the tailgatee brake checks the tailgater. Roadrage ensues and that is dangerous for everyone on the road at that point. My way of creating an emergency situation where I have to do an emergency stop lets the idiot tailgater behind me better understand the dangers and possible results of following too closely. If those two steps don't work, I go to Plan D. Your #2 option is an awful idea. By doing so you are getting yourself close to rear ending the person to n front of. Close enough that if your tailgater rear ends you you end up getting plowed the into the driver in front of you and end up getting a ticket for following to close. I've been know to brake check the shit out of people. Like lockem up. Fuckem. |

No matter how fast or slow you drive, there will always be somebody driving faster than you. Let them pass, things will sort themselves out.
"Slower traffic keep right" and "keep right except to pass" are the law here, road signs say it at regular intervals. People ignore it, though, and it's not enforced as it should be. |

Folks, The problem isn't limited to open roads where there are no other cars and you can pull over to let them pass. I have been going 80 on the freeway and pull over to the left lane to pass a trucker doing 70 to 75. The speed limit is 70. Here comes mr. in a huge hurry right on my ass as I pass the trucker. To be honest, I drive a small car most of the time to work, so I watch the truckers like a hawk. They sometimes pull over into me, at which point, I honk like hell, slam on my brakes and pull onto the shoulder if I can. the asshole in back of me will eat my tail if that happens and I don;t appreciate their stupid impatience.

The peculiar habit here in the Dallas area is that they won't change lanes to get into the left hand passing lane. Typically it is 0545 and you're the only person for a quarter mile either ahead or behind you while southbound on Central Expressway. You're in the lane to the immediate right of the left hand passing lane. So, there is the passing lane to your left that is clear and there are two lanes to your right that are clear. These special assholes will ride right up your ass and not pass. As if it is your responsibility to get out of their way. Move over a lane, they give you a dirty look, and speed on. Not sure what all that is about.
Then there are the Lexus drivers here in Dallas. Those SOB's will pull out in front of you, cut you off, stop, slam on the brakes, lane swapping, and all the while are yakking on their iPhones. They're the most self absorbed assholes ever to walk this earth.

It amazes me that people think they have the right to get angry because some one "inconvenienced" them. And I'm not talking about the people who sit in the left lane. I do 5 over in the right lain unless I'm going to pass, and still some self absorbed adult child thinks its ok ride my ass. Life doesn't revolve around you.

I had a guy about have a stroke yelling at me because I slowed down to 30 in rush hour traffic because when I was already rolling 10 over he decided to get so close I couldn't see his headlights. That is my goto now.

Sunroof, coffee can full of expired D batteries. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I bet none of you who state throwing this or that object don't have the balls to toss anything at a tailgating car. But I'm just curious as to the logic behind why you think that is ok. The person isn't phyically do anything to you. If you don't look back, you would never know they're there. So you ok with possibly killing the person behind you by causing them to wreck when the object busts their windshield or possibly killing someone else if they were to swerve into oncoming traffiic just because they were in your mind to close to your bumper? "You honor, I know I caused a wreck that killed two children, but that dude was just too close to me" What if we took the same logic and applied it in reverse? What if we were advocating throwing objects at peoples car as we passed them for driving too slow? Is that ok? |

If a brake check results in no crash, then I would say that no offense occurred. I should have just kept quiet, as those who tailgate (follow too close) are likely the same breed of Arfcommer who hates cops and can not be convinced that there are some who actually would uphold the US Constitution. I should have taken the advice a wise man once gave me. "Never argue with fools. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." I'm going to take his advice now.

I remembered a good one from 15 years ago or so. It was on I-5 near Ft. Lewis. Dude in a lowered Japanese car with aftermarket ground effects was tailgating a sedan in lane 3. The car he was behind signaled and changed lanes right before he would have hit what looked like the complete tread off of a semi tire. Tailgater slams right into it and it lodged in his air dam.
