KEEP HONKING; I’M DISSOCIATING
I’m no prude, but having blatantly nsfw stuff like this where it’d be seen by everyone has always rubbed me the wrong way. Like c’mon kids don’t need to see this.
I’m with the furry on this one. Fuck tailgaters.
I’ll personally just slow down until they either get the message and back off, or get annoyed enough to pass. Or if I see a piece of debris ahead, maintain speed until the VERY last second, then swerve to avoid it - they won’t have time to react, and will run it over. I got some asshole to run full speed into a chunk of some other car’s bumper doing that, and I gotta say it was the best high I’ve ever had!
*above does not apply to slow drivers camping in the fast lane. If that’s you, you’re the asshole.
Ah yes, combating road rage with road rage. As is tradition
To be clear, I don’t ever break check, as that’s dangerous as fuck - I’ll just drop a mph every few seconds until they fuck off. Idk if I’d call that rage… my safety is compromised by them riding that close to me, so finding ways to get them off is a defensive move. I also don’t want to be the one to change lanes, since collisions tend to happen during transitions, so that’d just be switching from one unsafe situation to another. If I tactically annoy the other driver until they move, then it ends the risk to me without increasing the odds of hitting someone or something else… and since they’re already putting my safety at risk, I don’t really give a damn about theirs.
As for the debris situation, yeah I got nothing - that was rage, lol. But damn did it feel good! Thankfully there’s not enough shit on the road to make that a go-to option, but I’ll definitely scope the road out ahead juuust to be sure before starting the slow-down thing. Cuz, and I can’t overstate this: fuck tailgaters.
I too employ the artful tactics of passive aggressive driving. It works. Hopefully it works well enough that people learn long term.
Isn’t brake checking just pressing on your brakes slightly to turn on your braking lights but not engage braking? So you’re not actually braking. I did it several times when someone’s tailgating really close and it’s pretty funny to see them immediately slow down. Usually after a couple of times of doing it they got the memo and increased their distance.
One time I was driving on some long ass backwoods country road in the rain. I was making like a 12 hour drive to get home, so it’s not like my destination was anywhere near close.
It was one of those roads where there was one lane on either side divided by a dotted yellow line. You were allowed to pass and visibility was clear. There was almost no traffic coming in the other direction, meaning abundant opportunities to pass.
Some asshat decided to ride my ass for *miles and miles and miles in the rain. I was going a decent speed too…a bit above the marked limit. This fucker both pissed me off and stressed me the fuck out. I tried the letting off the gas technique which usually makes dickholes go around, but nope. He continued to tailgate me for miles and miles no matter if I was going 10 mph above the speed limit or 20 mph below. Visibility on this road was fantastic and no one was coming in the other direction for miles and miles and miles.
I got so frustrated at this dangerous asshat that I straight up eventually pulled off the side of the road and stopped. He finally passed me and didn’t end up coming after me with a weapon or anything thank fuck. I don’t know if this chode was just too stupid to pass or what.
I don’t know if this chode was just too stupid to pass or what.
That would be my guess. Sounds like the dude didn’t even know that was an option lol.
For those backroads type one-lane-each-direction situations, I’ll just pull way over and slow down to a crawl. Otherwise, even if the other driver isn’t trying to be an asshole and is maintaining a decent distance, I still don’t want their headlights shining into my mirrors for miles, so I’ll be pretty extra about ushering them infront of me.
Bonus: that puts them on deer duty :P

Jesus! See this bulge in my pants? That was all you.
suicide by oncoming traffic is such a dick move. you don’t have the right to endanger other lives just because you’re suicidal.
if you want to kill yourself, do it right. go to Michael’s™ and buy a tank of helium to asphyxiate yourself.
Hey, Helium is too valuable to waste like that! A toaster in the bathtub will do just fine.
gcfi outlet will trip :p you’d also need an extension cord to tap an unprotected outlet
It no work, they dilute it now 🙂
this is an ad 😡
“Dont tailgate me, i’ll cum” ruined me. I can’t even…
Im in work, just laughing. People are looking at me.
