I did that once to a guy in a Durango. He has his oh s**t moment, brakes, swerves, nearly crashes due to his own stupidity. He was pissed. Stupid people don't learn, and there's no point trying to teach them.

Break checking is illegal

When I'm in the Z I accelerate, If I'm in the Titan, its generally a good time to watch people **** down both legs when I lock up all four 37 inch tires. Titan rapidly decelerating + huge drop hitch = new front end of car for them at their expense.

I wait for them to change lanes and go around. Why should I inconvenience myself for them?

I usually let off the gas so its a nice irratating slow deaccelaration which forces them to slow down. Then when they get the chance to try and pass me I don't let that happen. rinse and repeat.

In my previous car on the way to work some b*tch was riding my arse and I didn't do anything for a while and then I noticed she was taking a drink of whatever she had and so I decided it was a good time for a brake check. Im thinking it was something hot bc she stopped tailgating me and pulled off onto the shoulder. serves her right. Thing that gets me was there was no where to go on 695 it was congested but atleast moving so Im not sure what riding my arse was accomplishing.

I used to do the brake check. Now if I can I move over I do. If I see an aggressive driver coming up I move out of the way. If I am stuck and cannot move I just let off the gas so they have to slow a bit.
I do not do the ABS test anymore. That was in my younger days. Boy you shoulda seen those facial expressions.
What I have found is that most who tailgate have NO idea that they are being dangerous and disrespectful. Just let em go if they are in that much of a hurry.
However I am constantly surprised that there aren't rear end collisions on every street.

I do the same and I only try and drive in the left hand lane if I am actively passing someone. I always feel like an *** if I don't notice the traffic coming up behind me.

Flipping them off-------------------------You never know if they have a gun on them! Take a chance at getting shot at, or shot, "no thank you"!

I reduce my speed 3 or 4 mph, if they want around you, they will go! Works just about all the time.

act like you're putting makeup on and start swirving all over the place.

RedDevil 04-20-2010 05:00 PM

yeah, no point in putting yourself in danger...although, if I'm getting tailgated, I usually just think they need some of my windshield washer fluid....

LateralG'z 04-20-2010 05:02 PM

smash my brakes so they wreck their car and have to buy me a new rear end.
