    If some one was tail gating me I'd get out and confront them

    I do the speed limit and not one notch more. If they want to pass me, they can. It irritates me at night, though, because my car sits low to the ground, so I get blaring headlights in my rearview.

    In car - brake check and or let the pecker heads pass.
    On bike - Pull my 357 mag and wink at em.
    357 works EVERY time.

    You sound like a complete douche bag. And yes I'm judging because you sound like a little man with no self confidence who relys on a gun to give you brass balls. Some of us have guns and know how to use them responsibly don't draw them unless absolutely necessary. My weapon has been in my jeep for over a year in a lock box under my seat and I haven't pulled it once. I'd rather not make that decision considering I do it enough in my job. I've never agreed to gun control and I'm a big supporter of the 2nd amendment. More for the ability against an unjust government. But in you're case, your the type of moron that would draw for a parking spot.... Please sell your handgun....

    Is this road rage school?????

    most of what people are saying they're doing in response to tailgating is antagonistic and often escalates things to the road rage level...this is one of the reasons I simply don't like most people...everyone is an idiot.

    I also wonder how many people are pulling this foot off the gas stuff in the left lane where it's actually their responsibility to get out of the way if they're slower traffic.

    Yes the left lane hogs bother me a whole lot more then the tailgater,,,they block traffic causing congestion and back ups along with frustrating other drivers.

    Person hits you in the back from following to close its gonna be on them,
    Corse I never minded a little pat on the *kitten* every now and then.

    If I'm in the slow-lane & get a tailgater, well, there isn't a whole lot I can do about that. If I'm in the fast(er) lanes, I'll pull over to the slow lane as long as no big trucks are in same lane. Its no sweat off me.

    Lots of tailgaters here end up in bad accidents along with the innocent drivers they hit. I want no part of that.
