A good way to deal with Tailgaters!!

I discovered this a few days ago, and have now aimed my upper washerjet nozels(eachjet has 3 seperate streams) up alittle more. It works wonders!!
 


<< If you have a sunroof, throw a couple pennies out the top. >>


Nope! Lotion is the answer...It's thin enough that they can see through it but thick enough and oily enough that they'll have a fun time cleaning it off 🙂
 
On the trucks we have at work those thing never get used so we fill them up with water and turn the spray thingy 180 degrees to shoot people (specifically my boss😛) with them.. It works great.
 


<< Why don't you just get the F out of the passing lane... >>



Well, if I'm on I-285 (the Atlanta bypass/racetrack) in rush hour, doing 80 in a 55 (like everyone else) and there's no room to move over.....anyone tailgating me can pretty much go f*ck themselves.

Fausto
 
Up north, there are tons of potholes right after winter. It is natural for someone tailgating to track your car exactly as opposed to staying exactly in the center of the lane. So....

I have a tailgater. I see a huge pothole ahead. I very cautiously drift so I will nail the pothole. Tailgater tracks me exactly. At the last moment, I quickly (safely) countersteer to avoid the pothole. Tailgater hits it dead-on. He backs off, pulls over, retrieves rear bumper and hubcaps, and wipes coffee stains off ceiling.

Works every time.

I've wondered how hard it would be to have a small oil injector placed in my exhaust system so that a simple squeeze would create tons of smoke.

haha cool. i already knew the windshield wiper trick so this is a new addition.

So true.. 285 is a freakin trackmeet. It doesn't matter what time of day it is.
 
What the hell is windshield wiper going to do? Clean my windshield? Oh the horror!

btw, toss a penny out your window, and a nice police detective will show up at your door after I call in your license plate. I highly recommend not be so stupid as to do that!

Buy a diesel. WOT puts enough unburned oil through the injector pump that you'll get a nice thick cloud of smoke. I don't have any problems with tailgaters.
 
Best one I heard about was back in the early 50s where some guy put a sparkplug right on the edge of his exaust and ran a wire from it to the car where he could control the spark with a button. If anyone tailgated him, he hit the gas and with the amount of pollutants those cars put out he hit that button for an instant short fireball. 😀

Thats classic!

BTW, i dont cruise in the passing lane, I use it as it was meant to be used. Also, i try not to pass on the right unless i am forced to(example: an old woman doing 25mph in rush hour in bumper to bumper when no one will let you in on the left.)

I punish those who try to pass on the right unless they have to. 😀
 
Hehe...

I like the idea of putting an oil injector in your exhaust pipe.. That'd be fun.. lol

Agreed!---->that's not cool at all.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet; the poor motorcyclist behind you. I ride myself....wait that doesn't sound right at all. *Rewind* I ride a motorcycle, myself. <--much better.


This windshield washer thing must be a new craze b/c for the past month, every damn familyvan driving, cell-phone toting, Barney sunvisor-in-the-window, Soccermom sticker on the window, mom has sprayed me her windshield washers for no damn reason.

When I'm on the bike, I don't tailgate..for OBVIOUS reasons. I have no desire to be a bug-splat-mark on anyones' rear window or tailgate. As I'm coming up behind, with my signal on, indicating I'm moving around you, they hit the sprayers.

This blinds a motorcyclist and could cause a wreck. This is not cool.

Advice for you non-riders:

If you see a bike coming up FAST behind you:

1. Do not panic. The biker will not run into your vehicle (duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

2. Do not move. There is no need to jerk the steering wheel left-right-left-right. This confuses the biker and hurts your car.

3. The guy/gal on the bike will GO AROUND you. What a concept! :Q This concept, called "PASSING" is foreign to most automobile drivers: they will tailgate each other, like cows in a herd (mooooomooooomoooo) and not pass. Ever. They could be in the middle lane of a 5-lane highway, with no other traffic. They will all go nose-to-tail in the middle lane. For 100 miles or until the wreck happens, whichever comes first.

4. Please do not spray your windshield washers. I don't urinate on your car as I pass you, do I? Thanks.
 


<< I slam on the breaks when someone's tailgating me.

Funny. You wouldn't do that if you had a nice vehicle. Or if you lived in South Texas where the uh, immigrants, oh excuse me, LOCALS, don't have insurance. You would move out of the way, and quickly at that. Any vehicle down here with a cracked windshield and four bald, non-matching tires is called "THE NOSEGUROMOBILE" "Seguro" is Spanish for "insurance" "no seguro" is no insurance and you can figure out the rest. 😀

Dude... I live in "little mexico," speak Spanish, and I know exactly what it's like to get into an accident with an illegal immigrants (who run RAMPANT here) with no insurance.

And, yes, I still do it. My mom drives a Lincoln TownCar and she does it -how would we not do it if we had nice cars?

Anyway, that's what I do. Don't like it? Stay off my tail.
