So i was rolling around in my Mazda tonight (i dont think i was speeding TOO much) and this random Arab guy in a truck starts to tail gate me and i dont know about you guys but nothing pisses me off more!

He was on my *** for 5 straight mins and i finally snapped. So i zoomed off in my 8 and took some tight corners and pulled a quick U-turn to get away from him. But he didnt let up! This ************ roller right over the median and tried his absolute best to stay on my ***. soon after i turned into a neighborhood and lost him.

The reason i bring this up if because i wana know what you guys would have done in a situation like this.

 

What pisses you off? Tail gating or Arabs in a truck?! jk

uhh... Why was he chasing you? Did you cut him of? not much info here...
And, you might wanna watch what you say about erratic driving. it's a no-no lol

oh, and this should be in the lounge, not discussions

 

I was under the impression that i did nothing wrong towards him

 

Way to go... lost him after you turn into a neighborhood.

i have a feeling that this thread should go in your sig with a flashy title!!

 

Let him stay behind me and called the cops. Lead him around till they catch up. Then figure out what his issue is. Maybe he just liked your car. Or maybe he just liked you.

 

rofl I thought it was an awesome question

 

uhhhhhhhhhh

 

What made you think he was arab? And please dont say 'dark hair' and 'beard'

 

Turrent mounted in the bed of the truck and towel on drivers head? JK

 

I usually use tailgaters as an excuse to downshift, let out that nice exhaust brapbrap sound, and zoom-zoom away.

 

Or do the complete opposite and slowly slow down more and more... as long as you aren't impeding traffic for the innocent drivers lol

 

Suddenly, and randomly, I am thinking of Crown Vics and Crossfires.

 

I can't stand tailgaters!!...especially trucks and SUV's....although a highlight to my day is when they try and follow me onto an on-ramp.....the sight of them almost losing control in my rearview mirror is just too damm funny......makes me laugh out loud every time.

 

This is usually what I do.... let off the gas and just slowly coast down until they try to go around me, but depending on my mood after they move over to try and pass I'll downshift and speed up so they can't haha...But sometimes I'll just move over, like I said depends on my mood, sometimes it's enjoyable to mess with stupid people lol

 

That's what I do to Left Lane Bandits. For the guy in question, I would roll up to a police station. Calling them on the phone works too.

 

I would have def. called the cops if he jumped a curb to follow you.

Do you have a pretty mouth?

 

Ja, if it was Easy and he following him... it's because they like him.


Mu ha ha!

 

just slow down they will get around you
I tailgate alot in my Jeep but usually I get tailgated when driving the RX.

 

from the sound of things, it didn't sound like the guy was just gonna drive by if he slowed down.
Police station is where I woulda gone in that case. otherwise, slowing down and speeding up is always fun

 

I put fog lights in my rear windshield. When that happens, I turn them on for a few seconds. Problem goes away.

 

if i feel that someone is way too close, especially when i am already exceeding the speed limit by a fair amount, a tap of the brakes (just enough to make my brake lights activate) while still on the gas lets them know i don't appreciate their lack of following distance. most people will get the hint and back off a bit. if have the option, i will change lanes and just get out of their way. maybe it is just me, but i try to avoid conflict on the road.

 

 

I guess I have road rage issues Tailgaiting me gets you the:

I like the fog light idea, I've always wanted to do that, LOL! But, the most appropriate thing to do is slow down, change lanes, or drive off to the nearest Police Station.
