Screw you. Stop tailgating!:mad: You aren't going to get anywhere ANY faster tailgating you dumbass'. You all deserve to get shit kicked.

How come I never get tailgated?

[Dragon-88]

I drive a corolla with a N sign and even I dont get tailgated.

[liu13]

lord forgive em they got em dark forces in em

they just want to send a message without beeping, not like any of us get intimidated about it right? tho i understand it's a very uncomfortable feeling

[satek]

I slow down to piss them off.

[hotong]

I slow down to piss them off.

thats what i do

[-EuroRSN-]

Maybe if you give it some gas lol... Just my 2 cents i hate ppl driving too slow or a perfect 50km on a open road.

[Bouncing Bettys]

are you keeping to the right lane unless to pass or make a left turn?

Real smart.. make a bad situation even worse. Good thinking.

[_Hotsauce_]

I drive alot of big trucks at work and I'm amazed at how fucking close people ride my ass. I really don't care if you smash into the back of me, but if you do you're gunna lose your fucking head. Chances are I'll never feel it...but half the time I can't see them in my mirrors....FUCKIN MORONS, Sorry I'm not gunna speed in a work vehicle

[Rich Sandor]

Also scary when I'm with a customer on a demo drive, and they are tailgating dangerously close to other cars.. it makes me a little nervous that's for sure.

50 km is the speed limit, if the road is open you might as well pass on the oncoming lane... :squint:

[Shun Izaki]

i just use dual-stage highbeams to piss'em off if they're blocking up the left lane.

but yeah, i usually slow down and fuck with them if i got time to waste :P

[donjalapeno]

i live in Maple Ridge and it happens all the time......i aim at the exact speed limit and turn cruise control on :) if they hit me its there fault.

[fishing666]

you guys don't read the icbc licensing manual?

If someone is tailgating you, you must slow down to let them know.

I tailgate a lot myself and I don't even realize it most of the time because I want to go fast. You're suppose to slow down to signal that the person behind is tailgating.

[jpark]

you guys are seriously complaining? come to Gayple Bitch (Maple Ridge) and as soon as lifted diesel truck ed hardy faggets see a lowered car there like "fuuuuuuukkkkk yeaaa!!!" and starts tailgaiting you, god i hate this place

Your a hyprocrite cause i can tell u right now u dont drive EXACTLY how the ICBC licensing manual tells u to and if u tell me you do, your full of shit.

For those who are slowing down infront of the tailgater it makes absolutely no sense. There is no good that could come out of it. They are obviously tailgating cause there trying to get somewhere quicker and when you slow down infront of them, you are just making the problem worse.

[1exotic]

If I'm behind you and your in the left lane and you have the possibility to change lanes to the right, you better mother fucking move or I'm gonna go ape shit road rage. Especially when the road is empty AND THE CAR IN THE LEFT AND RIGHT LANE ARE DRIVING EQUALLY BESIDE EACHOTHER BLOCKING THE ROAD. I FUCKING ALWAYS TAILGATE THE FAG IN THE LEFT LANE REALLY CLOSE, BETTER MOVE PUSSY AND DON'T BLOCK THE ROAD. IF YOU FEEL LIKE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OR BELOW THE LIMIT DRIVE IN THE RIGHT LANE. IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT DON'T DRIVE.

If it's extremely heaving traffic downtown there isn't much you can do and understand that, but if it's normal volume of cars and traffic is moving rather smooth YOU SHOULDN'T DRIVE IN THE LEFT LANE SUPER SLOW JUST BECAUSE YOU DRIVE A NEW HONDA OR ACCURA OR SOME SHITTY FUCKING BEATER, YOU FUCKING FAGGOT I WILL KILL YOU. ESPECIALLY ASIAN WOMEN DRIVERS AND OLD LADIES, GET OFF THE ROAD. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK RAGEeee. 5y2y 52y 52y 52y52y5h 4gwhrwhht

ARE YOU DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE

DRIVE IN THE RIGHT LANE IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

IF YOU MOVE YES I WILL GET PLACES FASTER.

.... well that's if you are in the left lane... if you're in the right lane as long as you're driving the speed limit and not below (without traffic) than that's another story.

Maybe if you give it some gas lol... Just my 2 cents i hate ppl driving too slow or a perfect 50km on a open road.

On a daily basis I always have to red line my car giving full gas and driving up-traffic becuase fags deside to do that... fucking pisses me off so much.

The idea to slow down is so that you allow more time to react to sudden changes in front of you, so the tailgater doesn't rear end you.

[Rich Sandor]

If someone behind you is in a rush, move over and let them by. You don't know why they are in a rush. Maybe their dad is on their deathbed in the hospital. Maybe the butter chicken ain't sitting well. Maybe they just robbed a bank and are ready to shoot the next asshole who pisses them off. Either way, slowing down in front of someone in a rush only makes a bad situation WORSE. Those of you who insist on doing it, are idiots. I am NOT saying tailgating is okay. I manage to get where I'm going safely and faster than 99% of other traffic and I don't have to tailgate to accomplish that.

I slow down to tailgaters...however I am not usually in that situation unless im in my truck with a load or if I'm taking my family out. Trust me, you do not want to go faster to tailgaters because it makes no sense to go faster and put yourself in danger.

Now i do believe in exceptions such as 2 lanes or more and ur the slow guy in the left lane, i do not recommend going slower.

[LiquidTurbo]

If I'm being tailgated in the right lane, I slow down. Then one of two things happens.
-They pass and continue on their way.
-They get pissed

Win-win.

If I get tailgated in the fast lane, I switch to the slow lane.

I'm always tailgated in my astra in vancouver I usually drive around 55km/h and drivers here are still always on my ass >:O

why dont you just get out of the way if its 2 lanes? problem solved. let the tailgaters get their karma somewhere else. would you really want the hassle of getting you car fixed in case an accident happen?

if its one lanes, drive 5km above speed limit. they cant complain after that, youre already speeding as it is.

[1exotic]

And now some states are cracking down on left-lane campers, both to keep traffic moving and to tamp down the road rage that goes from zero-to-60 faster than ever before.

:bowdown:

learn.

[RiceIntegraRS]

The idea to slow down is so that you allow more time to react to sudden changes in front of you, so the tailgater doesn't rear end you.

Ok this is the scenario im seeing. Your going exactly 50km/hr and theres no one infront of you, and the car behind you wants to get by. So slowing down to 40-30km/hr allows you more time to react to a sudden change in front of you? I thought the reason why they have maximum speed limits like the 50km/hr cause thats the speed they decided gives everyone ample time to react to that sudden change..... And i think a tailgater will just even ride your ass more if you decide to slow down, especially hitting the brakes.

I just dont see any positives in going slower. Its not like the tailgater is gonna give you the thankyou wave after a couple blocks.... Move over to the the right lane, Carry on the with speed limit, Pull Over but Slowing Down makes zero sense to me

And im not saying Tailgaters are not in the wrong here, but i believe theres better ways of handling it

[Rich Sandor]

Just FYI: This is directly from the ICBC Handbook:


chapter 7 — personal strategies
111
Strategies: handling other drivers’ aggression

When other drivers start acting aggressively behind
the wheel:
• Respond with good driving manners. Give the other
driver plenty of room and the right-of-way.
• Don’t return aggression. Avoid eye contact, keep away
from erratic drivers and don’t gesture back.

If you’re in a situation where you feel threatened:
• Get help. Drive to a police station or to a location
where there are plenty of people (for example, a
shopping mall).
• Call the police if you have a cellphone. (If you’re
travelling with someone else, get this person to make
the call so you can focus on driving.)
• Don’t go home.
• Keep the doors locked and the windows closed.
• Sound the horn or attract attention to yourself if
someone tries to get into your car.

Preventing aggression
How can you make sure you don’t increase the anger or
frustration of other drivers? If you use your smart driving skills,
allow plenty of space and give others the right-of-way, you can
help prevent situations that cause aggression.

If some asshole is pressuring you or tailgating you, etc etc, LET HIM GO.

jeeez how many times does this topic have to get covered ????
there is 2 fucking choices.
1. BE AN ASSHOLE
-install HID on the back of your car and blind the shit outta tailgater
-tap on your brakes and scare the tailgater/ or make him rear end you.

2. DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE
-keep driving normally and avoid eye contact when/if he passes you

You slow down when your being tailgated in traffic so you have more time to react in front of you and the tailgater will have to slow down so if something happens he doesnt rear end you.

[J-Chow]

This thread does not deliver.

Honestly, everyone tailgates at some point in their life. I do it. You do it. There's really no right or wrong way to solve tailgating. It's a force of habit. We want to get someone quicker, we get impatient, or its an emergency, grandpa or grandma is behind the wheel, a disabled/handicapped driver is in front of you etc. There are countless reasons why we tailgate.

Simply move aside and let him/her pass. Karma will get the best of us. You never know.

There was one time when I was being tailgated on oak street on the left lane, and I'm already speeding. It was an Acura TL or RL whatever it was, and he was on my ass like no tmr. He ended up zipping through and cutting off other cars and we were both stopped at the traffic light.

Next thing you know, it's green light and he books his ass.
I didn't even wanna try to keep up. At least 90+ clicks.

2 blocks down the road, he gets pulled over by the popo. GG.

[RiceIntegraRS]

I think every1 knows that when ur being tailgated in traffic, theres not much you can do. But im pretty sure i said in the first line "Your going exactly 50km/hr and theres no one infront of you"

i just use dual-stage highbeams to piss'em off if they're blocking up the left lane.

Downshift to slowdown ftw!

[AzNightmare]

The only time I would tap on brakes is if I'm already going 80 in a 50 zone and some guy is tailgating me still.
If that's the case, he obviously wants to take it personal or something. There's no reason to tail gate anyone
going 70+. Even 60 should be acceptably "tailgate free" speed.

I don't know if it's true for all cars, but the mazda3 tail lights engage slightly before the brakes actually catch.
(You have to press on the brake like maybe half a cm down)
you could do the left foot brake to turn on your red lights to force the guy behind to slam on his brakes while maintaining
your speed.

[Euro7r]

The OP didn't really give enough details in his situation of being tailgated. If he was driving super slow, then he's pretty much asking to be tail-gated considering no one really drives speed limit (50km).

[!LittleDragon]

It doesn't seem to matter... right lane, left lane, speed limit or not.... there's usually some moron tailgating. I don't really care anymore, if I have to brake, I have to brake. I've been rear ended twice in 2 years because I stopped for a red and another time in the stop n go of the lion's gate during rush hour. They're too busy concentrating on tailgating that they fail to look ahead of me to see what's going on.

[XtC-604]

how about some of you assholes stop pretending to be all righteous and shit, saying your doing the limit. 50 is a joke. If you're doing 50 in the left lane you deserve to be tailgated. The person tailgating you is only sending you a message "stop being a fucking retard and pull over" Its people that go speed limit up sfu on the left lane that piss me off, side by side with another fuck face.

[lgman]

How about tail-gaters in the school zone with children running around?

She was on my ass in a school zone like a C-Lai on Chong Lee's market on no-tax Tuesday.
So she sees a gap (When I say gap I mean the curb lane) She guns past me to cut me off but ends up slamming the brakes @ the red light shortly ahead. Too bad I didn't get this bitch's mugshot but I got her plate. Really. It's a SCHOOL ZONE! Anyone remember the accident @ Grandview & Woodland Dr?

[Harvey Specter]

I get tailgated daily no matter what lane I'm in or how fast I'm going. I always think it's because I drive a coupe but I could be driving my mom's Accord and same shit. And I've been noticing lately that a lot of older, c-lai as there called, tailgate for no apparent reason.

I use to brake check or get super pissed but I've been tailgated by undercover cops in vans, pickup trucks and suvs who are itching for you to speed up or do something stupid so I usually stay calm and try to switch lanes and let the person pass me.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Maybe if you give it some gas lol... Just my 2 cents i hate ppl driving too slow or a perfect 50km on a open road.

drive it like i do, pedal to the metal. IM sure there wont be any tail-gaters.

[gdoh]

i tailgate ppl too but only when the fuckin asshole is going 35/40 ina 50/60

i do get pissed when ppl tailgate especially because i go faster than speed limit so i will slow down or down shift

[Gnomes]

Intentionally slowing down when a tailgater is behind you can be quite dangerous. It incites more roadrage and the tailgater will probably do something more riskier such as sudden lane changes. Move over to the right lane if possible.

If you are being tailgated while driving on the right lane, then the tailgater is just an asshole.

One lane roads = ??

i got tailgated this morning, i was in the left lane. So i moved to the right lane. Then she changed lane again to tail me. Then she change lane into the hov lane to pass me. (hov lane is curb lane). Quite wtf?

The worst is the idiots that tailgate in the FUCKING RIGHT LANE..
When I'm going slower than the speed of traffic I always move over to the right if possible.

Then some idiot comes along with the LEFT LANE wide open and tailgates me...like where the fuck you expect me to go you prick?..

Anyway, its funny when they finally get tired of this and move to the left to pass me, so I just stay in the right, give it some gas so they look like a tool

[q0192837465]

most tailgaters r noobs anyways. I get tailgated all the time. But these tailgaters can't handle any curves. I just maintain my speed on a bend & they disappear really quickly,

[Oleophobic]

I've tried to be courteous (too courteous actually) driving down the highway one time going 110 (speed limit 90), right lane was going maybee 100? It was during a time when traffic was quite busy though it was still flowing smoothly.

Anyway I thought the guy behind seemed like he might want to go a bit faster (maybe 115 or 120) so I changed to the right lane to let him pass.
Big mistake, now I'm stuck in the right lane doing 100 (had to now slow down), and I can't switch back to the left until the wave of cars pass doing my original speed because it's too dangerous to switch back given their slightly faster speed plus not much of a gap between cars.

Moral of the story, if you're in the left lane keeping up with traffic, there's no point moving over unless you really want to drive slower....
if you're the FIRST car at the front however, I can see that can be a different story...but then I usually end up catching up to the next pack of cars :thumbsup:


on city streets....I've been tailgated in both lanes before, but nothing aggressive. In fact, every time I am driving in the left lane in the city, UNLESS I decide to go 50, I don't see how anyone can tell if they are holding up another person. Too many stops, traffic lights, and traffic in front to even notice this. That's why I can see why there are people who mistakenly think the left lane rule doesn't apply in the city. Because there is hardly a lot of chance for it to be used effectively if you have lots of traffic lights and stops.

In the past, one time I was in a hurry driving 70, only to be stuck behind someone doing 60. I was an idiot and was angry, but now then he turned left a couple blocks down. It's so stupid to road rage if someone's already doing 60 in the city in the left with plenty of traffic in both lanes.



If I'm behind you and your in the left lane and you have the possibility to change lanes to the right, you better mother fucking move or I'm gonna go ape shit road rage.

Get off the roads if you can't control your anger.
Seriously. Just pass on the right or if you can't, just suck it up.
Shit happens, and being slowed down for 30 seconds is probably the most harmless of all things other motorists can do to you.

[lgman]

this is why I have "0" empathy when I see someone come in the office with 75% Surcharge on their insurance. NONE

[CP.AR]

If you tailgate me in the leftlane I will move over for you. If you tailgate me in the right lane, I will speed up, catch up with another car and leave just enough room so you can't cut in traffic.

[d1]

I rarely get tailgaited but even when I do it doesn't bother me too much - I need a new bumper anyways.

Left lane hoggers are bigger assholes imo because they are being assholes without even knowing it. At least the tailgater knows he's a fag.. the left lane hoggers are oblivious to everything around them and when they get honked or given a stare down they'll be like "what's his problem?" :fuuuuu:

Sometimes people just Rant.

I was pulling away from a traffic light there was a semi-trailer in the right/travel lane and one car ahead of me in the left.I notice the guy in the Aveo ahead of me waving his arms and ranting,I figured he was having car troubles so I waited for him to pull into the right/travel lane.After about 1/2 kilometer he wasn't pulling over and the semi was picking up speed ,I decided to go around him.He was waving he arms and yelling at me and then proceeded to flash his lights after I passed.I wasn't tailgating other than the fact we were both stopped at the same light and I knew once we got far enough ahead of the semi ,I was going to pull into the travel lane if he didn't,so I wasn't riding his bumper impatiently.In fact ,I was driving away slow enough ,to watch as guy in the Aveo ranted and flashed his lights at every other vehicle that went by him in the right/travel lane.
Some people are just asshats.

agreed

Try driving through the city on the major arteries like main, kingsway, broadway, 1st ave, etc... in the left lane going 60-65 and tell me how often you find yourself in a situation where you should move over because "you're going too slow for the guy behind you and he's pissed."

NEVER gonna happen. That speed is pretty much 99% tailgate safe.

What you'll find, however, is that the left lane law doesn't work well in the city, due to: traffic lights, left turners, constantly catching up to traffic further ahead (either because they stopped for a light up ahead, or cars that have turned onto your street).

There really shouldn't be much of a discussion about this about city streets.
it should be about the highway instead.

[Mr.HappySilp]

I am sorry but the law put a speed limit on for a reason. If anyone is going with the speed limit regardness of how open the road is they can do it and do not deverse any tailgaters. If you tailgaters wants to go faster thant he speed limit then change lane and go as fast as you like.

Why make someone break the law with you? 50km'h means 50km/h it does not mean hey I can go 70km/h now becasue is all open road whoever is not doing it is a dumbass lol.

[Supafly]

[JesseBlue]

The point is if you are doing the speed limit in the left lane, move over.
not all roads have 2 or more lanes per side you know...

i will always try to go the speed limit and if someone decides to tailgate me i will stay the same speed be it open or not...

[GabAlmighty]

not all roads have 2 or more lanes per side you know...

i will always try to go the speed limit and if someone decides to tailgate me i will stay the same speed be it open or not...

Basically, with my truck i'm literally doing 50-60 around town whereas before it would be 70'ish. And if someone tailgates me in the city they're just fucking retarded.

I think this is more for on the highway and for the most part I agree. On the highway I do 100km/h no more because of my fuel burn. If I need to go around someone I wait for a break, go up to 120km/h, pass the person and get back in the slow lane.

[Phil@rise]

I always get a chuckle out of a caravan of idiots tailgating each other. You know when you see three or four (sometimes more) driving down the hwy with 5 feet between em. Just a pileup waiting to happen. Some people are just idiots.

[Anjew]

some people here dont realize that speed isnt always a reason why someone gets tailgated... some people drive like shit.. some examples are....

super slow acceleration
break super early then slow to a crawl 5 car legnths behind the next car...
not paying attention when lights go green(more than 2-3 lights)

Well it also depends on the car too. If the person is driving say a car made in 1980 of coz the breaking and the acceleration system isn't going to be as good as the new cars thus it takes them longer to break and accelerate. If you try out a new brand new car vs cars made 15 to 20years ago you will know the difference.
