yeah but then you are surrounded by ricers....and cops. instead of suv's and minivans.
Which is better?
A Civic was tail gating me and trying to race me in traffic (that tard). I was on my way towards SF.. so I down shifted twice into 4th at 80 MPH, stomped my gas pedal, let off, and blew a flame on his hood. It felt good to see things light up behind me and then smoke puff out as I put it back into the next gears.

If someone tailgates me in lane 3 or even 4, then they're asswipes.
If a tailgater pisses me off, I give'em the good ol' brake check. If he doesn't let off, I give a quick brake jam. Usually solves the problem by then

Depends, but if you're going slower than the people 2 your right, move over and join them. If you're going faster and people are on your ***, just move over or brake check em and get paid.

same here, however, what really pisses me off, is when the whole freeway is full of traffic....such as rush hour when I am on my way home at 5:30, and the jackass behind me is basically attached to my rear bumper....and there is nowhere to go.....because all 4 lanes are going about 20-30 mph. That really pisses me off....thats when I start going really slow, just to **** them off more.....I get a good laugh out of it.....

I give them a brake check when I'm not in mood to deal with that kind of crap. I remember one time, when the freeway was little over crowded and I was in a fast lane, with couple of cars right in front. This red Mustang suddenly appeared in my rear view mirror and closing in until I could not see the front lamps. There was no other lanes for him to go to but to stay and I know he can see what's ahead of me. My nerves suddenly worked its wonders and made a quick jam on my brakes, that Mustang freaked out and slammed on his brakes and almost lost control. I didn't mean that to happen, but just to let him know back up a little. But, it worked, he was pissed and did fly-by on my right lane and flicked his middle finger. I just laughed at his face and pointed at him to **** him off more. And while that was happening, another car cut him off and slammed his brakes again and I eventually passed him.

what you all need to do is just move over! in most cases the person behind you just wants to get moving and your in the fast lanethinking your hot **** cause your going a whole 5 mph faster then the other lane! or is a lame as-hat that cannt keep a consent speed or even worst taps his brakes every 2 sec.
my advise is just move over, even if you have to slow down a bit... after all its only one car and if there is more cars then that means its you thats the idiot...
thanks and yeah

Yeah~I know what you guys talking about. I did just move over most of time.Back then,i'll just let off the gas and floor it when they trying to pass me. But,i figured why put myself in a bad mood.
Most of time when ppl tailgate me is either in rush hour,and the street/hwy is almost empty. I believe I have a good reason to get mad.
And,I don't tailgate ppl at all. All i do is pass them.
Anyhow,I'm trying to just move over everytime regardless.But,sometimes it doesn't work.=P

i was in the car with an old HS buddy this one time...he was driving. this old lady was clearly tailgating us and we were on a 50mph road. the oncoming light turned red well ahead of us, so instead of hitting the brakes to slow down, he kept cruising til we got closer. at a couple hundred feet from the light, he STOMPED on the brakes -- ABS kicked in, the nose dived, and the car scurried to a stop. then we heard the lady's brakes lock up, tires screeching, car sliding, and eventually coming to a complete stop behind us but in the shoulder of the road! you should've seen her face!!! her poodle that had its head sticking out the window was no longer there and she had that "oh sh*t" look on her face. when the light turned green again, she kept 50 yards of distance b/t our cars....hahaha.
i thought my friend was crazy and told him to tell me if he's gonna pull stupid crap like that again. then we both laughed our ***** off. lol.
