Wonder if we can get spotlights mounted on the corners of the back window. If a big one can grab attention from across town, then a couple of headlight-sized ones should make a good wake-up call...

True but he might get the point, or just be a bigger jerk and turn the high beems On lol

Nope, even at 80+. Passing lane, cruising lane, seems like everyone wants to pass the Yaris...

I just drop into third and stomp on it. No more tailgater.

I have been seriously talgated many times while driving various vehices thoroughout the years.
I have come to the conlusion that insistant tailgaters simply do not get it, do not have a clue about what they are doing and are convinced that what they are doing is completly normal and acceptable.

It really make me wonder what is taught in obtaining driving licenses these days and/or what reality these people subscribe to.

same here except if there is a clueless moron in the left lane riding in a blind spot of a rig,thinking that he/she has the right to be there and not actually passing anyone. passing lane is for passing not cruisin

I know having heavy wheels doesn't help, have you driven a LB ?

Shinare · 02-01-2011, 08:18 PM

Every once in a while someone will do it to me. I just slow down till they pass... problem solved.

Yeah, that's the best. lol. I do it when ever someone tailgates me (after making sure it is not a police car).
