Also doing what you just said is a classic insurance scam called "Swoop and Squat".

The smart thing to do would be just move out of the way and let them pass. Its not hard. It sounds like your out to cause an accident because your to hard headed to move over
Nope, you hit me in the back, you shouldn't have been following so closely, end of story. Worst case it gets 50/50 if I hit the brakes for absolutely no reason and that can be proven by a camera. 90% of highways are visible from DOT cameras, I'd say about 10-20% have useable feed for a court case, if that. Good point though, I'll come up with a better lie like, oh wait I know, "its a toyota, the brakes just locked up and there was nothing I could do!" The 80 mph tire marks will be much harder to deal with for you then low resolution on ramp cameras will be for me. Also, a dash cam will not show what's in front of me if you are tailgating, all it will show is my bumper because your waaaaaaay too close. Please, please forward that to the police.

Swoop and squat involves moving into a lane and slamming on the brakes, where you don't have lane control. If I'm in the lane and have control you should have been far enough from me to not hit me if a meteor landed on me and stopped me in place.

Also, I cannot feel bad for someone dying that basically plays russian roulette every day tailgating people. If I didn't get them they could have killed someone else when they eventually killed themselves. I usually try to avoid ditches and such, but sometimes its hard to pass up those really golden opportunities where they try to speed up and cut the middle lane off to get around me, only to see my brake lights flying at them and instantly close the gap they were shooting for.

I've only put 2 people in the dirt, but when one of you hits me, insurance almost always finds 100% fault for the person rear ending someone. It was a coyote running across the freeway I swear.

Please do the world a favor and kill yourself before you cause one of those 40 car pileups that kill a dozen people, because that is what they stupidity you are talking about will do. Really, with the crap you are saying you don't deserve to be alive.

I really wish you come for a visit to Montreal and pull your idiocy here, you will see how fast you will be part of a semi with Kenworth printed on your dumb forehead
ooo sick burn, eh? need for speed. YOU GOT ME! damnit!

I don't know about your backwards ass country, but here, unmarked cars can't pull you over, and 2 car lengths on the freeway gets you a tailgating ticket. The guy you were tailgating because he was blocking you in the passing lane, will look back, smile and wave.

Huh?? Troopers in unmarked cars can and do pull over people all the time in the US. Maybe in your particular state they don't but no need to call out Canada like that.

A good 10-15% of our state cops up here are in plain gray Chargers.

Same here in Ohio, lots of unmarked cop cars and they can and will pull you over.

Here in Canada (or at least where I am), the police cars aren't "unmarked". If you actually drive by one and look closely (or see one in a parking lot when you're both parked, that's alot safer ) you can see the word "Police" on the sides. There's a few around here that are black, with a dark gray "Police" lettering on the sides.

Maybe in NM... I've seen unmarked cars pulling people over in CA, so you should research your facts a bit...

You mean for why? going on manslaughter charges like the 14 year old girl's mom on myspace?

Really stop though, I'm spitting up cheez-its at the thought of someone rear ending me, and then running home and searching for a yaris forum on the off chance I incriminated myelf(or incriminated a proxy, either way)
