Tailgaters are bad enough. But when you get some tool in a car with a stoved in front end you can't help but think they just don't learn there lesson. There obviously no good at tailgating or else they wouldn't have stoved the front end of there car in. GRRRRRRRRR!!

very annoying, i was on the way back from the bodyshop having just had my car resprayed with some woman in a brand new clio having a fag and on the phone whilst sat up my arse its soooo annoying she actually locked up at one point because i braked for the set of lights its just ridiculous

I just go really really slow lol.

same, just piss em off

I just go really really slow lol.

lol agreed if at night put rear fogs on if u have them lol and do like 20mph! n if they overtake good if no its fun lol

if they over take put you are foot down and lose them :-D

I love it when people piss around with me on the road. Gives me an excuse to piss them off 10x as worse.

Putting the window down and slowing down whilst having 2 fingers stuck up outta you are window is usually quite a fun one.

1st warning: fog lamp

2nd: rear spots and slow down

if they overtake i switch on all my front lights.

this is the biggest piss take that most knobshit drivers in the UK all have a problem of doing, it fucks me right off and most people are too thick to understand that going into the back of somebody is almost automatically an insurance claim for them and a bummer for yourself, let alone being very dangerous and a bitch on your fuel economy

my sisters a great culprit, everytime i'm in the car with her she tailgates so much...i tell her to slow down and keep her distance, if she doesnt listen i tell her to imagine having a stupid girl stuck up her ass, that usually makes her drop back, but 5 mins later shes at it again

sorry but if someone is driving like a slow bastard (30-40 in a 60) il give them a hard time.

there i said it lock me up

I also do this. a scooby cut me up yesterday then did no more than 25 in front of me.. was the last thing I expected from a scooby lol

But its when people do it to me when I'm doing 40 in a 30 lol!!!

My fave is tapping the brake pedal as that works quite well for me,

One of my mates just slows down a bit to 20 in a 30 then stops and if he gets shunted then he says a cat ran out in front of him :-) .

fuck tapping the brake pedal, i tease the handbrake up lightly, they have no warning of you slowing down then, scares them and the back off then

you dangerous bunch! lol!

progressive slowing to a near standstill

dropping a couple of gears (slowing rapidly with no lights)

or a favourite of mine left foot just enough to show the brake lights and boot it! usually makes them wary!

If I get tailgated it's usually just a short sharp stamp on the brakes that sorts it out. You get idiots though that don't learn and after a few minutes are on your arse again. I've even had a few folk try and argue with me for stamping on the brakes, one of them was a white van man. But if they have to brake hard when I do for that split second then it just proves that they are too close!

Tailgaters are bad enough.

Pot, kettle, black?

Drive home from poloshow ring any bells? Undertaking skills and tailgating skills were in full use.

i just slow down to the speed limit, lightly tap on the brake so the lights come on and then floor it away

I'm thinking of building a toggle switch for my brake lights, so i can do it easier.

I put my left foot on the brake then boot it that always works for me.

I had some guy slam the brakes so hard once he actually stalled, result!

I get that all the time on the roads from Carmarthen to bangor and its always big powerful saloons driven by a member of the flat cap brigade, only way to move them is flash or travel on full head until they get the hint and pull in out of the way (and theres normally a long queue by this point as well) but normally about a mile later you end up stuck behind another big car doing 30-40 but these are the same people who when they get to a 30 carry on through it at 40 or when traveling in a 40 are doing 20.

but the worst is when you pull out to overtake a crawler and they start to speed up as well.

I was on a road doing 30 exactly because i was going through speed cameras, this guy behind me right up my ass in a banged up avensis so he obviously wasn't bothered if he shunted me, he'd probably just run off!

I didn't even slow down, just carried on 30-35 because theres another camera a few hundred yards ahead... he then tries overtaking me, narrow road, cars coming on the other side but he was persistent and cut me up badly, i had to slow down, the car on the other side had to swerve a bit!

he then SLAMS his brakes, but i wasnt up his ass so i just slowed down normally, he then opens his windows and starts shouting all sorts of profanity saying "WHY YOU going SO SLOW"... am like "speed cameras?? wtf do you expect me to do!" he then took off his seatbelt and got out of the car, in which case I put my foot down, took a few turnings but he had a faster car, caught up, he got to the side of me, i just slammed my brakes, quick U-turn then lost him within the traffic!

definitely the most scariest moment in my driving life, because he looked like he'd just escaped from prison :(

The trick is wait till he gets close to your car then start to drive, wait for him to walk back to his car then stop. Repeat. Usually get a hint by the time they're sweating from changing direction so much.

I once was stuck in a queue overtaking a lorry, i was alongside the lorry's trailing axle. Some idiot in a cupra came flying up my back end flashing his lights. I mean wtf, where does he want me to go?! So i started flashing my fog lights.

After overtaking the lorry and pulling over to the inside lane he decided to follow me right up my back bumper as i was tootling along at 65mph. He followed me for 30 miles down the M1, good thing I was going all the way to Huddersfield lol.

I have a very short temper with tailgaters but one such night i actually felt quite bad but some people need to learn. Now i dont mind if somebody tailgates for a second coming off a roundabout or coming out of a junction that I've just gone past etc as long as they eventually back off.

I'm drving along in a 30 when i see a purple fiesta with a girl driving with the usual happy hardcore blaring and lexus lights etc. Anyway shes free to do what she wants with her fiesta i suppose but then she sits right on my arse, I'm doing 32 in a 30 by this point. so we get to a bend which i checked to see if was clear for a while in front of me (It was) and id had enough that day so slammed on real hard and she slammed on, she flew across the other side of the road and straight in to a curb which was a raised one as it was where a bus stop is during running hours. Safe to say she lost the front bumper of her car. I just stopped, she got out and ran round to the front of her car and i gave muchos abuse and then drove off. i see her all the time now and not once has she tailgaed me since.

At the end of the day i think some people just need teaching a lesson and to think she never tailgates anymore is a good thing i reckon. Instead now i just drive very slow and then speed up when they try to overtake (providing its clear) and that normally does the trick.

my sisters a great culprit, everytime i'm in the car with her she tailgates so much...i tell her to slow down and keep her distance, if she doesnt listen i tell her to imagine having a stupid girl stuck up her ass, that usually makes her drop back, but 5 mins later shes at it again

My wife's exactly the same. She's impatient and drives much more aggressively than me and doesn't even realise she's doing it most of the time. There's just no telling her. The stupid thing is I've got points on my license and she hasn't got any, the jammy cow!

lol i was thinkin about this topic today in my driving lesson and going into pembroke some oldish guy in a red civic new one right on my arse i said to my instrucor look at this prick and he said slow right down and when he passed speed up and then the guy flashed his light so my instcrtor turend round n stuck the v''s up and said to speed up lol ledgend of a guy

sorry about spelling I'm useless at it!

Ahh I don't understand it, I'm sure when they see L plates they want to make you go faster, I had a guy on a driving lesson in a white van tailgate me, I was doing 30 in a 30 with speed cameras, so I slowed down to 20, he soon got the message....
