People who tell such stories are as annoying as the tailgaters. WTF, did you gain out of this besides potentially causing an accident? Both of you and the soccer mom are idiots!

Tailgaiters aren't a problem unless you make it one yourself. Don't look back there... they'll watch you. If you can't stand it, maybe you should move the fvck over. Otherwise, let them sit back there and STFU about it.
Where did I say something about left turn signals?Originally posted by: yukichigai
You're not supposed to unless you're making a right turn. Left turn signals do no good unless you can see where the person entered the roundabout, and in some you have no way of telling where they entered from.Originally posted by: Qaabus
I really hate it when people don't use turn signals.
Especially on roundabouts.
Oh please. In the majority of tailgaiting cases, the driver who's in the way shouldn't be there in the first place. If you were any kind of courteous/anticipatory driver, you'd be out of their way when you see a car fly up/into the left lane behind you... what did you think their next move was ?Originally posted by: paulney

Right. Don't look back there. You'll see them in your rear-end perfectly when time comes. If you are lucky enough to stay alive to see it. Good job, rh71. Keep it up.

i have an example for you. im driving home after getting some groceries. around my development the speed limit is 30, so im driving around 30-35 mph. i gradually slow down and make a right hand turn onto my street. this jeep behind me honks at me and then as it passes, it brakes at odd intervals. now, i stop completely in the middle of my turn, b/c i dont understand why ive been honked at and esp b/c i dont understand why the jeep down the road has stopped twice (erratically). i think that perhaps this is a friend of mine, even though i dont recognize the car. therefore, i immediately pull a u turn and head out after the car. he makes the next right and i follow. shortly after, he pulls to the right side and pull up next to him. at this point i realize that i have no clue who this guy is - some middle aged white guy. he then asks me if my turn signal works, and i dont understand why he asks, so i just respond with a "yes?". he then drives away...
now, after all this, i know i should have had my signal on, but sometimes ppl forget! i was not driving erratically at all. this guy just decides to be an as$hat. his erratic braking down the road was more troubling than my turn without using a signal.

I've had a run lately of being behind someone who--for no reason I've been able to figure out--just started driving slower and slower, eventually getting down to a near-crawl just before reaching the light as it turns yellow, then flooring it and zooming through the light (which is now red).
Other than that, there are the people who decide to make a left-turn from the right lane when I'm driving in the left lane and the people who get up to the light in one of the through lanes, realize they want to turn left, and then stop and wait for the next light cycle when they can get into the line of cars in the left turn lane.

Turn signal is a big one, but tailgaters are even worse.
