obviously you guys have never driven in a majour city in canada on a highway. Toronto, Montreal, Quebec city...all of thouse highways, you gotta b a stupid agressive driver and if you think thats bad, you havent seen any thing. My friend was driving north of montreal, doing 140km/h gettin pushed in the slow lane *he was going slowest of all the lanes too*, some guy passed him and started shootin his car with a paintball gun. My buddy mainly does it because people in the big cities here are complete duchebags. When i headed him on the weekend, the slowest i could/did go was 125km/h. I slowed down to 115 and almost got hit.

you and all of your friends are still idiotas.

I find it humorous to just slow down when someone is tailgating me.

I do the same thing, except i usually don't under the speed limit I had a cop tailgate me once when i was on a road where the speed limit was 30mph. So i just chilled at 30 until i had to turn off that road, my guess is he was trying to get me to go faster so he could give me a speeding ticket..haha, nice try officer

i get tailed usually doing ~80 in a 65...
and since i DON'T want to piss people off, i generally punch it till i' get past the cars i want to get past in the right lane, then hop over and let captain tard pass...

My wifes lady friend did somethin funny to a tailtgater.. d00d in a jag was tailgating her, came to a red light and she let down her tailgate (forgot what kinda truck she had).. anyways tailgate busted off jag hood ornament, she got out and picked up the jag and drove off.. there was more to the story like the guy yellin at her and stuff but at least i remembered the good part

here's an idea of how to get rid of tailgaters... since the rear washer fluid nozzle is useless anyway, get a separate reservoir, fill it with iced tea or something, get a more powerful pump so it'll shoot back 5 feet, and hook that up. someone's tailgating you... then BAM!! they get a shot of whatever you choose all over their windshield! lol

i live in NASCAR country, so idiots around here think tailgaiting is fun like were at lowes motor speedway or something...

HAHAHAHHAHAHA i went down there once and everyone was "drafting" it was one of the dumbest things, since i got my clear highs on the car, at night when someone is tailgating i let em pass and just click on them high beams and sit a good distance behind them, gettin in the side mirrors too, if its on the highway they slow down and let me by & continue as normal (my windows are tinted too so they never try the highbeam back)

i just let off the gas till they go around...

one of these days im just gonna wire high intensity strobes to the rear window. hopefully itll happen at night so they can get a seizure, lol

yea we have a WRX in my area where they just unhooked the rear washer line and now it shoots ~10 feet back behind him...its nasty

ive been in toronto, by far the worst drivers ive ever seen..coming from los angeles, toronto was far worse...altho 8 mile in michigan is scary, never stop at a stop light!

I was on cardomain and found a guy who took two 1,000,000 candle-power spotlights and hooked them up in the rear tray where he could flip a switch and they would rise out of the back and turn on right in a driver's face.

Here is a link to his page

the license plate thing on the next page of his cardomain is better.
i've always wanted something like that

[LewFX]

how bout swerving all over the lane, like your avoiding a possum, or drunk

I just move over, If they're in a hurry I let them by, then they can be my rabbit. What really pisses me off is when somebody does the speed limit or even 5 over in the left lane. People on the beltway (D.C.) need to go back through driver's ed.

[tomazws]

I need a new rear bumper... maybe they can hit it and help me replace it.. hmmmm...

I go slow to people tailgating me too. I had this truck flashing it's lights behind me for no damn reason. So I am on a 45, and I drop to 10. Dude pretty much stops, and won't pass me. He has people behind him. When he finally mans up, he tries to speed up and pass around me. So I sped up, almost causing him to drive into another car coming the opposite direction. Then when he tried to change lanes, I drove into a store parking lot, and flipped around to follow him. I drove up fast and threw my car cig lighter at his window, thinking it was down. I never seen anyone drive off so crazy before in my life. It was fun though. I only regret using all that damn gas. Gas prices are no joke here in California.
