My thoughts exactly. I can't stand it either. A couple times on i95 traffic has come to a sudden stop and I just watch the guy behind me barrel down and see his front end nose dive. I'm always watching and gauging, preparing to escape! Sometimes I'll brake a little harder than the guy in front of me to set distance from me and the guy in front of me. That way the guy behind me gets a little early warning. Even though he can probably see right over my car...But of course most idiot drivers are hardly paying attention to ANYTHING.

Because most are busy doing these tasks while driving... Unfortunately some of us have done that at some point too.



I find advanced notice brake checks effective for me and it usually gets aggressive drivers off my bumper. You might get funny stares once in a while.

Somatic, I know how u feel, when I was at work on thursday I was at my desk window just looking out into the parking lot at my Z, when a busted as chevy car comes rolling in rell quick in front of my Z and parks over the line right next to it, I was like im jus waiting for that door to swing open and hit my Z and I swear I would be out there in two secs adn whoop sum behind... but luckily nothing happened and the young girl who got out was mindful of the car and she didnt hit it although still over the line. But if she did, I wouldnt hit a girl but still. and there is a crappy parkers thread i rememebr seeing somewhere u should post that pic up there.
