oi all these people here that are completely against anything other than driving the speed limit and pretending to be god among men

i'll tailgate, but only during one special occasion: when the person in front of me was a complete ass on the road, by acting like he owns the road and usually ends up being where I almost get in an accident because of this said individual, then I will tailgate him for a moment, blair my horn, and then speed up next to him and usually give him some colorful sign language and drive on. gotta show these people that they pissed me off and that, well.... they should know it. lol

but your still an idot for tailgaiting :p i would've slammed on my breaks and blammed you for ruining my bumper (one thats already dented from another jackass) :D

They are! I had a motorcycle cop try to race my when I was riding back from school. I was just sitting at a light on my bike and this dick just rolled up revving his Harley engine like an ass saying "Let's see what you got man!" My sensible side though I would get a ticket and won. But deep down I really wanted to dust his ass.

BTW this was in Downtown Denver.

Actually, I just think they're against morons who endanger the safety of others for the sole purpose of being annoying little fvcksticks who simply don't have anything better to do.

But hey, I guess you interpreted those posts a bit differently.

I don't see how speeding up and slowing down and tailgating is in any way spirited or safe.... :confused:

Maybe next time you're tailgating the cop will do us all a favor and end you. You're a low life piece of sh1t if you tailgate people for a 'spirited' good time.

Orlando bike cops ride Harleys... at least they did in the mid-90s.

I don't know why some of you want to get rear ended by a tailgater by slamming on your brakes. I rather be tailgated and I keep going. Accidents suck since you lose your car for a while to the body shop, deal with insurance, and your car losing value.

Why not just move out of the way if you can? Angry people here.

I was just having fun by tailgating this dude with bursts of gas. I know it's an asshole thing for me to do it. I wasn't speeding, I was just tailgating at 30mph in a suburbia mainroad.

This cop in a motorcycle suddenly drove up right next to my window and started to verbally own me. He said something along the lines of:

"Hey you fvck. How about I ride your fvcking ass like that for awhile? Huh you fvcker? How about I write you a fvcking $500 ticket huh fvcker? How would you like that huh?"

I was so dumbfounded at his sheer abrasive and bluntness that was happening right before my eyes...

Then he just took off.... wtf?

:thumbsup:

okay.... um, way to completely misinterpret what I had to say. my point being, there are always instances when safety is not compromised when travelling at a faster speed than that of which is posted.

and Sukhoi, yes it is about tailgating, but the same general group of people that I mentioned tend to think the same about anything that revolves around driving.

Because I have other means of transportation then just my car. My motorcycle, for one, and the fact that I carpool and don't touch my cars for weeks aside from little trips to the grocery store.

tailgating for no reason other than trying to prove to yourself that you can be a prick even though you don't have one

!=

spirited driving

that cop is my new hero.

Hell, I'm tempted to call "shens" on the OP, but he may very well be as big a douche as he claims to be.

That's not spirited driving, that's your true a-hole nature coming through. If you can do that and not shoot yourself in the face right afterwards, then you're the biggest kind of jerkoff there is.
