About a month ago, some a-hole in a newer volkswagon bug started driving right on my trucks bumper....so close that I cant see there headlights. Now where I live, there are a lot of deer, and they like to jump out in front of you at the last second. I had enough this morning and went down to the sheriffs office and lodged a complaint.

Tomorrow morning the cop is going to wait off of the road to see if he can catch the idiot.

suicidal deer?

No, thats just how deer are. Some haven't learned that car = death

Not worth it.. just take your foot off the gas and either let them slow down with you, or they will speed up and pass.

Situation solved.

Exactly what I do. In no passing zones, I pull off on the shoulder. It's not rational to play macho games with cars.

Courtesy FTW! :thumbsup:

This is common practice on the 2 lane higways here in TX, so long as there is a paved shoulder.
 
What bugs me is that the driver of the bug could pass me at any time. It is more fun to ride my a$$ I guess.

dude thats normal traffic conditions around here.
 
Fvck that - "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought an animal ran out in front of me and I had to slam on my brakes - sorry you ran into the back of me while you were tailgaiting" 😛
 
Same thing happened to me. This kid in his ricer came up right behind me. I was gettin off the interstate comin in to town (Chattanooa, TN for those who live here...probably none..) and there are some good sized turns. Makes an S. Anywho, the car in front of me braked (I wasn't tailgating, FYI), and he almost hit me. When he had enough room, he passed me (almost killing me again...jacka$$) and cut in front of me. I promptly gave him the finger, flashed my highs, and called the cops. The guy got arrested for a DUI...FTW!!
 
Here's the A-Hole solution:

Just about always during a car accident if someone rear ends you it is their fault. So next time this person is tail gating you... slam on your breaks. Maybe there was a deer, maybe there wasn't. Doesn't matter... to the law they were not traveling at a safe distance to stop in the instance of an emergency and it will cost them... big; at least as far as insurance stuff goes. Granted this will cause you a lot of heart ache dealing with insurance companies but take it from me... you feel good afterwards 🙂

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Risking serious injury just to make someone else have an insurance claim.

Maybe he was drafting off you to save gas?
