Tailgators...The bane of my life!

Featured Replies

I see myself as a good driver, pretty much stick to the speed limits religiously. Lost a good friend due to speeding which has taught me a damm good lesson..DONT speed if it's not needed! I can understand that it pisses some people off as they have no understanding of what "limit" means but thats fair enough,

What really gets me is say for example I'm driving to work, theres a certain light i stop at which eventually goes from two lanes to one..for some strange reason people missread the clearly posted 40 sign as 60 :? and without fail for the last two years solid I've had to endure arseholes up my ass every single damm day which really gets to me lol!

And its not just on the way to work, its everywhere haha, and it always seems to be some idiot in his shitty 10 plate astra for some reason. Is it because i drive a decked Polo? Who knows, but one things for sure, i need ideas people to get these tailgators to fuck :-D ?

EDIT: sorry for ranting...

i jut ignore then tbh dude, i know it is annoying but if your concentrating on them, you not concentrating ont he road as much. I just stick to what peed I'm doing, fuck um is all i say. I love it when you get like an 09 bmw bomb it past you, and then it gets stuck at the lights. I think whats the point. It is something we all have to put up with, just concentrate on your driving, best thing to do. :)

EDIT:

oh and reme,ber if they are tailgating you and you have to suddenly brake, and they hit you then its their fault, there i no point in worrying about them, if they want to be a dick then let um.

cheers for replying. I do concentrate on driving mate but i cant help but noticing cars trying to drive up my exhaust haha!

rant away my friend for me its always some woman in a 4x4, people just just don't seem to understand that its not acceptable to be so close to the car in front that you can smell their air freshener. it winds me up big time

Annoys me if you doddle in front of me with a clear road, your happy doing 30 so be it, free road for me i aint sticking to 30 most of the time i follow traffic who rarely do 30.

i find it funny, as they are just making it harder for them selves, as siad above, you brake suddenly they hit, then they fucked. They are asking for stuff like this to happen. I always get bmw's and 4x4's doing it by me, as i have quite a few a roads, but i cannot afford to get caught speeding or anything. I just let them do it. They are the only ones being a idiot, and swanting to speed on public roads.

tbh mate it's only really 30 in residential areas, kids ect running around...

i remember pulling away from some lights not too far from brighton city centre, i was behind an aygo or something the a honda cr-v comes flying along the right hand lane, the road then goes from two lanes to one the aygo wasn't having none of it so he/she floored it as did i because i think people should wait their turn so the cr-v was forced to go behind me so put her full beams on. i don't think she realises most cars have anti dazzle mirrors. or the fact my rear fog light is quite bright.

hardly any decent people out there.

:thumbsup: unfortunately!

Because my car is slammed and with a few mods here and there - They think I want a race everyone :?

it genuinely frustrates me, as you said, its everywhere, in every single 30/40 i go, there is always a que behind me, on my old car i just thought it was my speedo out, but again, on my second car!

I have people overtake me in 30's, and I'm just like 'what it this, i don't even?', love dropping it downa and keeping them out in that lane as they pull back in!

but summary, EVERYTIME i'm in a speedlimit zone, except national, they are RIGHT up my ass, i either tap the brokes or rear fog them :p

:retard: good idea!

I'm getting a sticker made up that says "the closer you get, the slower i go" and it'll be used to full effect! I usually either brake gently so lights come on and not slow down or just come off accelerator and slow right down until they increase gap... They also get rear-fogged too!

best thing to do is adjust your washer jets upwards (2 out of the 4).

bimmer gets to close... just keep the jets firing.

Mate get two made up ;)

Tailgating doesnt bother me too much during the day, but it pisses me right off of a night time because the lights always seem to shine right into my eyes and even with the mirror flicked down its still annoying as hell. Most the time it seems to be chavs revving up my arse wanting a race -.- fools!

Saw a megane speed off yesterday when i dropped my other half home then he suddenly slowed down as there was a copper in hiding waiting for an idiot like him to catch.. !

Some peoples stupidity defies belief. Especially young mum's...dropping my little bro to school in the mornings, I see some of the most disgraceful driving ever.

Women in X5's, Merc ML's, bombing it down the school road 40-50mph over the speed bumps, not giving way to oncoming cars (its a tight residential road which is choca-block come 8:40am). First of all theres NO NEED for them to have such huge machines that they cant handle/park/see out of, and second of all understand that theres f*cking children around.

Had one woman up my ass all the way up to the school gates. When I got out to drop my bro to his class, she parked up behind, pushed her little girl out of the car an came up to me effing and blinding about how shes late for work and I was holding her up. She then proceeded to pull out without indicating or checking her mirrors, not noticing the lollipop lady and 4 kids and their parents were in the road, and almost wiped them all out.

TAIL GATOR!

but seriously, some of these people are ridiculous, had someone overtake me on a roundabout the other day because the traffic wasn't moving on the other side so i stopped on my side instead of blocking the roundabout.

she leant on her horn, drove past me, then sat in the middle of the roundabout for 5 minutes.

:lol:

agreed aha its why i never sorted the random washer that shoots right over the roof :lol:

I dont see the problem. My job is to look in front of me,i dont care about the vehicle behind. Anything could jump out in front of me,and I'm used to driving a van without a rear view or rear windows.

I suppose i could criticize the driver behind,if i thought i was so perfect,but I'm just not interested.

They hit me,i get money. Lots of it. But they dont. So I've gotta mind my own and get on with it.

I hate beemers/mercs/range rovers in the fast lane on motorways.... I'm already there doing *ahem...77* and they're up your arse flash flash flash. I just maintain speed until their frustration forces them to change their mind/ break the law by undertaking.....I'm not gonna risk my license because the person behind me is annoyed about having a small penis.... but they're welcome to their own stupidity!

Although, nowadays in the golf i just drop a cog and leave them in a cloud of diesel fumes when they get too close!

If they can undertake it means there space for you to move to the left. unless you are making progress on another car.

It still serpises me how man people drive in the middle lane on an empty motorway at say 2am. :roll:
