Slam on the brakes! " You mean you didnt see that deer run out infront of me?" You must be blind.
j/k What I do is Just go the speed limit. I get really ticked off at tailgaters when my 5 month old is in the car. |

It rarely happens when I'm driving my Ram Hemi with 20's on it. For some reason people stay back from me. On the other hand when I'm driving my Saab it's like a tailgater magnet! I could be in the right lane going 10 miles above the speed limit with not a single car in the left lane and I'll always get the tailgater. My solution is to draw them in a little closer and lock them up! I can always use the "holy shit officer there was a little dog that ran out in front of me" excuse. Not my problem if the dick behind me was following too close. Not too worried about confrontations I'm on the bigger side of the scale.

I slow down until they go around me. Every now and then they'll stay there till i stop. Then i sit there and wait until they go around.

If their window is down you can empty your ashtray out your window and sometimes the ashes/butts will go right in theirs. Worked for my dad. Fast food cup about half full works good too.

There is NO SUCH THING as "tailgating" !!!
If your watching the car behind you enough that you think someone is "tailgating" you, then YOU ARE NOT PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!!!!  just fucking drive!

I forgot another option - oh well, can't do five. I like to just slow down more. The more the tailgate, the slower I go. |

tap your brakes rapidly so your brake lights go onoffonoffonoff without actually slowing your vehicle. 80% of the time, it seems they get the hint.

Gee, thanks, einstein. I suppose that driving on the freeway, when I do my rear view mirror check as I was tought to do, and see someone so close to my bumper a grandmother in a walker could cross the distance, I am the one at fault. Ah, pure freaking brilliance! |

Do nothing.
I take pity on them. Traffic, by most basic modeling theories (which are based on fluid dynamics), behaves as a single-dimensional compressible fluid. It's almost universally agreed that the number one cause of traffic congestion is tailgaters -- not the squid riding the GSXR-1100, not the blue haired geriatric driving the Oldsmobile Cutlass and not the Asian guy doing 10 under the speed limit with his blinker on for 5 miles (sorry, had to get that Family Guy reference in there ). I feel bad for the tailgater because he probably believes that he's a superior driver to the other people on the road, probably cursing under his breath at the people supposedly holding him up in traffic, and having all the accoutrements of the typical Jeff Gordon-ite (mullet, wifebeater ....) -- when in fact (if he had more than two brain cells to rub together) he would realize that it is HE who is the cause of traffic jams and gridlock. It's essentially like a guy who has a Lorcin and thinks it's a better gun than a Sig P210. You gotta have some pity for someone like that! [NB: I am not bashing NASCAR. I have been to two NASCAR races at Dover Downs. I'm just having a little fun at Jeff Gordon's expense. ] |

You have issues. Driving up on someone's ass isn't you're right. It isn't how you're supposed to drive, and it doesn't make you cool or tough. It just makes you a jackass when you do it. Grow the hell up. You're going to get someone hurt or killed that way. |

I maintain my speed (I always use cruise on the interstate), and move over a lane when I find a safe spot, then let them pass.
I'm not going to speed up, slow down, or do anything else. |

How old are you? 17? Whatever you're age, it's obvious you have some sort of issues AND you don't know how to drive. You're supposed to maintain several seconds distance between yourself and the car in front of you. AND you're supposed to periodically check your rear view and side mirrors several times a minute. If you just stare out the front window and think you're a good driver, that's just moronic. |

When you can move to the right, turn your blinker on. But don't move over.

once i dumped a full can of coke into the windstream. the 911 following me disappeared into the distance.

None of the above. I drive 5 or even 10 miles below the speed limit.

Well, if I'm just fucking driving, my situational awareness requires a glance in the mirror occasionally, correct? If we aren't supposed to look in the mirror to check what's going on back there, what's it there for? Good, we agree on that one. Now, during one of those glances, I see some asswipe creating a hazardous situation by riding my bumper. Ok, so it's not tailgating. What do we call it then? |

Somtimes I will use my turn signal, left, right, doesn't matter, ease off the gas a bit, then speed back up - if they resume/continue to tailgate, then I brake check em.
I'm no slowpoke, but I do stay out of the left lane if there is overtaking traffic. |

Oh, I see we have a genius here. So the state laws reguarding following too closely are just figments of our imgination then? How 'bout this? Stay a reasonable distance behind me and I'll complete my pass when I complete my pass. Riding my ass is not going to make me do it any faster. In fact, i'll see just how damn slow I can do it, as long as it's only your ignorent self trying to touch my bumper. |

I watch my mirrors and move over before it becomes a problem.
On a 2-lane I just pull over at a wide spot. I no longer let them ruin my day. It isn't worth it.  Besides I don't know why they are in a hurry could be important. As I see them go by I think "Man this is better than getting mad" It is an easy fix to a simple situation also.I've tried to get my brother to do this but he still lets them bother him. |

Stress kills, by not paying them the attention they feel they deseve, their blood pressure rises and their life shortens - I get to remain calm knowing that they're enduring a little death right behind me. Last Saturday morning I had the pleasure of seeing a tailgater get pulled over right after he blew by me - it made me chuckle. Doesn't happen often enough though. |

Driving is not a Right but a privelege.
Owning guns is a Right. Voting is a Right. Driving is a privelege. It doesn't make you cool or tough to do brake check on people or throw batteries out the window or any of the other ignorant things mentioned above. The guy (Most likely ones to be 'tailgating') behind you may have a gun and he may use it on you. BigDozer66 |
