yes I get trucks tail gating me all the time in my Z, the thing about it is sometimes their dicks too so they'll turn their brights on (yes it's that fcked in socal) and poor Z's with their low profile will get blinded by them (thank god for tints and rear view mirror shade) And you know what? If they want to tail gate me I let them, they just better be ready to get sued when they hit me in the back at a stop since I drive a 6MT and it rolls back a little sometimes on a slight incline red light. I'd say they'll learn the lesson the hard way but I'm not going to let them affect the way I love my car and we all know if we step on our gas pedal they'll be wondering where we went

Back in 1988, I had a Yamaha Fazer. It was wickedly fast and my first and last bike. I couldn't believe how bad people were about pulling out in front of others, based on the size of the other car, until I had the bike. I saw first hand what motorcyclists have to put up with from all the times people seem to want to ram into me, run me over, and so forth. I don't have a bike anymore but I make sure when I see one I am as careful as possible for their sake. Tale gaited on a bike? I just can't believe how people are sometimes.

You're right. I had a pick up truck following me so close in my old Rx7 on the way to work, his lights created shadows from the hair on my arm! I started taking my silver reflective sun shield for the dash and propping it up behind the seats to shine the light back into their faces. Sometimes I'll sit at a light and not move for a few seconds when they are on my bumper. But I did notice it did not happen with my SUV.

No kidding. I am on a steep hill and I get people that pull up almost to my bumper. I let the car drift back a little to remind them not to do that. What has happened with people and driving? I lived in California for 10 years and I couldn't believe what I saw, especially around Pasadena.

People do that here on Long Island all the time...At one point some guy in a minivan was tailgating me on the parkway and decided to put his brights on for a good 5 or 10 minutes in traffic. I ended up brake checking him REALLY hard and he stopped.

But I'd be careful with the whole rolling scenario. In a lot of cases it's considered backing up and you're at fault for not having proper control of your vehicle. But it can be turned into your favor if the other driver is not giving you the proper room needed to operate your vehicle.
