One of my friends told me that she did this to people and I really had to chew her out about it, because it's so dangerous and obnoxious.


On a one lane road? I never do that. However, on the highway? I'll let those tailgaters try to beat my 250ft-lbs torque and 250 horses

LOL. 250 horses :-/ They make cars for men too ya know.

Ever piss off a tailgater trying to pass you? I do this all the time. Sometimes when a tailgater decides to pass, i'll give my 250hp legacy GT full throttle and then cut in front of him. Other times, ill let him pass, hunt his ass down, and then cut him off hard with half a car length or less of distance between us. And when i say "cut off" i mean it...i switch lanes quickly and decisively and sometimes apply a little brake afterwards to wake that little tailgater up!

Anyone here stick it to the tailgaters?

LOL, that's a good way for you to get hit in the back of the head with my pickup's front bumper when it comes crashing through your rear window, because I don't hit the brakes. And let me tell you, I'll be laughing my ass off when care flight comes to pick you up. :)

Now get the fvck out of the passing lane!


I travel at 80mph tops in the passing lane. WHy should i move over if im going 80mph?

You dont hit the brakes? I'll be laughing my ass off when you flip your lame ass gas guzzling truck over.

Because it's a fvcking passing lane! I don't care if you are do 90. If someone wants to pass, you move over. It's as simple as that.

And let me tell you something, your little sh!t speed bump of a car ain't gonna flip jack over. I'd gladly burry my bumper in the inside of your car if you try and cut me off.

So you bought a 10mpg truck to compensate for your small stature and penis size?

Hey man, you can ponder all the theories you'd like when you're on that care flight ride. And you'll probably have even more time when you're in rehabilitation. But hey, I'll be a nice guy and send you a "get well soon" card. :)

You are the exaxt reason why i dont cut off or tailgate truck drivers. Bunch of punks.

dude, 80mph is like 120 km/h... that's far too slow to be in the left lane

The speed you are going doesn't matter dumbass. The signs normally say something like "Slower Traffic Keep Right".

It doesn't say "Unless you think you're going fast enough for everyone..."

Short answer is, if someone is tailgating you, then you are the Slow Car and they are the fast car, so you are in the WRONG lane. Move over, let them pass, then move back over if you just have to be in the left lane to make yourself feel special.

Topic Title: Are you annoyed by tailgaters? What are your reactions?
Just do what ATOT'rs do.

Speed up, slam on brakes, cause collision, collect insurance.

I hope the Insurance investigators go after every one of the ATer's that do this.

GET OUT OF THE FVCKING PASSING LANE, GRANNY. That simple. Period. No argument about legality, because you KNOW your dumbass doesn't follow traffic laws 24/7. Simply move your pathetic, slow, ass over, and everyone wins. If not, yes I will tailgate your ass or flash you.

I usually slow down so it's not as dangerous if I need to hit the brakes.

Obviously they want to go faster than you. Let them pass. You don't own the road, and your dick wont get smaller if they pass you.

He didn't buy one of the top 10 cars purchased by homosexuals. While his d1ck may be massive, like a small donkey, atleast we know he isn't packing fudge and trying to show his tendencies by having another car ram up his ass.

Keep your 250HP (OMG Z06 better watch out) POS Legacy and quit talking sh1t like you are something.

My Lincoln has 280HP and yet you'd never know it unless you saw me merge on the freeway. :D

I mostly drive like an old lady. I'm never in such a hurry that it's worth getting a speeding ticket or in a wreck. I have nothing to prove in the penile department, lol

Pimps cruise... angry losers tailgate and play games with their cars. :p

He's got a retarded elitest attitude about his car.

what do you drive then?


I recently sold my 240z. That had nothing to do with speed though. It was a great deal. Prior to that I had a 68 nova.

We've gone down to one car while my wrist recovers from another surgery. I drive a mini van :)
