Pain in the rear end

Anybody else tired of people riding your butt and you having to worry about them hitting you and have to keep tapping on the brakes? Judas Priest.... i want to get out of my car and say back offff!!!

Yep all the time but what can you really do? I have the Technostalgia rapid fire brake lights and they are super bright and flash but other than that not much you can do. That's what insurance is for so when dummies behind us follow too close and hit us we can get our cars fixed.

Happens all the time, it's like there's a magnet back there that pulls them in close. Sometimes I just tell myself that it just appears that way in the rearview mirror since the car sits really low compared to my 4x4; it never looks close when I'm in there.

how does one tailgate a train?

Don't forget the ones that stop dead on your bumper when your on a hill. You move up they shove their front end right back dead on your bumper. Raise the Engine enough to wake the dead move up again and they still NOT GET THE MESSAGE.

This was in an Historic District where Trains and Cars use the Same Road.

Dummy waits for Train to slowly pass thought intersection. Turns Right and Tailgates Train down street and turns Left at next intersection.

Clutch
Rev
If continues...tap brake
If continues. Meet at lights
Roll window down. Cus him off. If that doesn't work, step out of the car. If doesn't flee then fight til death

What also works is if you go even slower
