Pull over side them and slam on brakes like theres a wall infront of me, they downshift and FLOOR it! Leaves them way the hell behind and they also usually piss themselves.

 

If I'm in the left lane, I get over. If its a two lane road, I wave them by and slow down. If they insist on following without passing, I just drive slower. The last thing I need to do is go out of my way to lecture some random person I will likely never see again, but its also every driver's responsibility to foster a safe driving environment. Obviously that doesn't always happen and whether its you or someone else thats the cause, you should at least be aware of it and what you're doing.

Safety courses teach that if the car behind you is not at a safe distance for the speed, its up to you to slow down until the speed matches the following distance. Even better is getting away from that situation and since you can't necessarily change the other driver, you should focus on what you can change.

 

Speeding is also illegal. Do you still do it daily...most likely. A sudden slow with out brake lights would be more dangerous anyways you think? I'll take my chances rather than getting rear ended

When you brake check you are literally putting yourself in harms way - its pretty stupid thing to do when you think about it, like standing in front of an oncoming train to get it to stop. If you think having a tailgater is bad, try getting rear ended and losing control of your car when you're traveling 40 mph. Its better to just get away from other traffic and reduce the congestion around you, whether it is speeding up or slowing down. All brake checking does is reduce space when you really want to increase it. This isn't about obeying laws, its about being safe.

 

All I'm saying is that if you're brake checking you're obviously getting angry over it, I personally get a bit ticked off someone is tailgating me at +5 over the speed limit, or any speed over the speed limit for that matter, so I slow down to the speed limit which usually gives them the message, I don't brake, I just slow down, and they're in a rush to get somewhere so they'll proceed to change lanes and go around me so they can speed.
You can't expect anyone to know the road laws, I always travel in the left lane on the highway to avoid having to tail someone and get more rock chips, and I like to speed, cops don't care much here if you're in the far left lane speeding, but any other lane and its a quick way to a ticket because left is for passing and the rest are not, that's how I got a 74 in a 60 passing someone in the 2nd left lane when I was younger. Whenever someone gets close to my tail I change lane as soon as possible in the left lane, I also tail people slowing down the left lane, and when they ignore me, I illegally flash my brights at them twice quickly, and if they still ignore me, I'll downshift and pass them as they are going 65 in a 60 in the far left lane.
Driving should be fun, not angry, that's why I love owning an s2000. I love laughing at all the ricers trying to do fly bys on me with their body kits and get a good kick out of it, I'm quick to troll any idiot, and my way to do it to tail gaters is to actually go the speed limit because it makes them get off my butt while I get to my destination 30 seconds slower.

 

I put on my robe & wizard hat...

 

Does it add +3 int?

Haha... was the 2nd part of your sentence supporting evidence of your claim in the first part? LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING ONLY. There are even signs for it... you don't even have to already know the law.

There's nothing I hate more than the guy that gets on the freeway and immediately crosses 3 lanes just to camp in the far left lane and drive 2mph under the speed limit just so they can talk on their phone and not have to pay attention to any traffic around them.

 

I have been rear ended in my s2000 by a bus, I dont give 2 shits for tailgaters. Ill play with them all day, hitting the brakes and slowing down, speeding up. Only if they are doing it for more than 15-20 seconds. How is brake checking illegal?
