I mounted two reverse leds in my bumper that operate off a button. Scares the shit out of tailgaters.

Genuinely one of my late grandmother’s favorite pastimes.

remember to let people pass b/c they could be in an emergency. When you see flashing headlights, let them get by.
erdettebrukt3000
Oh... And if you BLINK at me to get me out of your path... I slow down even 10 more...
FthisApp
I want to engineered my wipers to spray straight up over my car and spray the windshield of that tailgating ass hat.
Kopar
same. I'm already breaking the law. Fuck you.
NobodyWorthThinkingAbout
This is why I want a battle tank. I will drive ten miles under the speed limit, block every lane I can, and point the cannon at honkers.
TXGodzilla
or pull that latch on the compartment that releases 1,000 steel ball bearings that bounce up into the tailgator's windshield.
TheVapeCrusader
Slowing down is fine, but if you brake check, you're the asshole
FabulousBadass
This shit again?
IsThisUserNameLongEnough
I drive like an old person and always have. I stay in the slow lane and drive the speed limit. I've done so ever since I got in a bad
IsThisUserNameLongEnough
accident when I was first driving. If you don't like it you can go around me since I'm in the right lane.
nosuchthingasanoriginalthought
If you are in the left lane and no one is in front of you but there are cars behind you get the fuck over!!!!
mmckee44
I tend to try to pull over but if I can't I slow down because I figure I'm now stopping for two.
jenzhere99
Don't forget the pettiest of them all...BRAKE CHECK!!!
TheVapeCrusader
Never do this

Exactly. This is why it's the pettiest!

So is following too close, but that doesn't stop most people from driving that way.
LurkingAtTheOffice
When I got my CDL they taught use to drive even slower if we are being tailgated, to avoid the person behind us hitting us if we have to
LurkingAtTheOffice
Break suddenly. Gives the driver more reaction time since they usually cant see around our vehicle. I often do it via instinct when people

Tailgate me in my personal vehicle. Always drive safe and mind your surrounding. The extra 30 seconds isn't worth it.
Lulabel73
I don’t get how tailgaters don’t understand that we all slow down!
nopenousername
At least you were going over. People where I live have a hard time driving 5 under, let alone the speed limit.
hwatL4bloopy
I slow down BC I'm being blinded by my mirrors
Gobjin
More annoying is as soon as there is a clear lane some jackasses fill it and refuse to pass each other.. leave gaps and let people pass
RogueMachinae
AlceCosmico
You're actually supposed to slow right down if someone tailgates you
TheVapeCrusader
Don't know why you're downvoted for asking a question
AlceCosmico
Wasnt a question. Was a statement. It's part of the highway code :)
HerrBisch
I really hate the word "purposely". I don't even think it's a real word. It's deliberately, the word you're looking for is "deliberately".
TheVapeCrusader
I really hate that you put your period outside of your quotes.
HerrBisch
But... the full stop isn't part of the quotation.
TheVapeCrusader
Doesn't matter. You never put punctuation outside of the quotes
HerrBisch
If they were parentheses the punctuation would go outside (like this). Surely the same principle applies, no?
TheVapeCrusader
That's not at all how it works. What kind of stupid logic is that?
GreaterDog
But we can all agree that someone going 25 in a 35 deserves a swift death
buffalowineguy
Perhaps you don't understand how speed limits work? They are, in fact, a lawful maximum, and not a required minimum.
Frogfox
I always wonder if they might be transporting a wedding cake or be a 15yr with a permit. It helps me feel less irritated
left4chicken
Oh lord, just converted that to kilometres and that is slow as FUCK
ticktockbent
It's pretty fast in duck-lengths per day.
OddlyPacific
If you leave for your destination on time, you can drive safely and not annoy anyone. Driving 10% faster only ends the trip 2% quicker
theclassiest
Shut up nerd
CoffinFullOfPudding
OddlyPacific
Maybe someday you will discover that there are other drivers on the road and traffic controls.
arpinas
But then if you get stuck behind other cars or in traffic controls, you're not driving 10% faster anymore
orphangrinder
Actually due to those same drivers and traffic controls, going faster can drastically reduce the length of your commute
OddlyPacific
You aren't a math person, are you
muggybonehead
I think they’re referring to the trip taking longer because you’ve been pulled over/crashed into a lamp-post
slayston
Awful lot of comments here seem to be assuming this 35 zone is a two lane highway....which seems an odd conclusion.
thornofnight
Yeah. If you're on a highway and the speed limit is 35, I should remind you that it's extra bad to speed in a construction zone.
CeleryMan7
Thank you! Was tired of explaining this
ChainmailleAddict
Go over the limit and get pulled over. Go the limit in the left lane, get pulled over. Shit's unfair.
CodeChimpin
No, it’s not. Left lane is passing lane. Pass, then move back to the right lane. Simple.
REDF0RMANSF00T
But if I pass that means I’m going over and I’ll get pulled over?
IceBearisGood
Highways, not city roads

I can’t pull over any farther!
JackIsLacking
Offroad it is.
I8THECAKE
In which case I agree with you, but I live in LA and people do that on the freeway and think they are being righteous.
CeleryMan7
grew up and lived in LA for over 30 years.. now i'm in a more rural area and most highwways are one lane. tailgating bothers me is all
CeleryMan7
esp when i am over the limit
I8THECAKE
I agree. And am the opposite. I grew up in a town of 3000 and now live in this concrete nonsense.

Just move over and let them go. Either they will feel like a dick or feel like the "won" either way,who cares. Sau hi at the next red light.

gtfo of the left lane
OrgasPandaCat
I'll slow down until speed and distance matchens safely.
HipsterFett
It’s the hardest thing for a leadfoot like me, but sometimes I’ll intentionally back off rather than tailgate. Occasionally does the trick.
undercovernoodle
I'll go the speed limit but I can't bring myself to go under the speed limit.
kelseysaurusrex
I usually reserve it for lifted trucks who refuse to pass me when the left lane is open
Erijdmatp
You're the kind of guy that makes traffic for no reason, ppl got places to be son
bubblebreathdragon
Ain't going to matter if they can't get there safely.
Butterupmybuttcheeks
Oh fuck off, assholes who tailgate when someone is already going over dont give a fuck about the speed. Its a power move.
Erijdmatp
Relax buckaroo it only applies when you're on the passing lane not when it's a single lane.
HelloMax
And slowing down to 5 under isn’t?
Thegodsofimgur
As long as you aren’t on the highway. Left lane warriors are just as bad as tailgaters in my opinion
destinoz
are there highways with a 35 mph speed limit?
Juggernaughtty
What exactly is a left lane warrior? Asking for the curious (which includes me).
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
I witnessed on Sunday 3 vehicles exhibiting poor left lane discipline and tailgating at the same damn time!
MechaMarkimus
Left lane warriors are worse than baby cannibals. IMHO
HypnagogicHallucinations
Don't blame baby cannibals for their ways. The parents are the ones responsible for their feedings.
roosterofdoom2112

HerrBisch
It doesn't matter how fast you're going, what matters is whether they're overtaking anyone or not.
StarscreamAndHutch

A lot of people honk at me and flash their headlight when I come in the opposite direction on the highway. So rude !

You don't have a right to exceed the speed limit. You may occasionally not get ticketing for doing so, but you don't have the right to do so
Ilovepoopinglikealot
As long as your not riding my ass when I'm in the right. I go 70 - 75. Don't be on me in the slow lane ya fooks
LurkingAtTheOffice
By law drivers are supposed to move over for faster traffic in the left lane. Doesnt matter if they're going the speed limit or 5 over.
anotherusernamed
Fucking exactly this.
Frogfox
On a 35 speed limit road? If there’s a left lane it’s probably for upcoming turns not to pass anyway
XVUltima
If I want to go equal to the speed limit, I'ma be in the left lane. I'm literally going as fast as I'm allowed, who needs to go around me?
AlpacaMyBagsAndGoNow
There's laws in my stste. "STATE LAW, keep right except to pass." You're just being an ass. And breaking the law, the same as speeders.
DylieWylie
That's not for you to decide. If you're not passing anyone, stay in the right lane. Period.
XVUltima
If people don't respect the speed limit, why should I respect passing lanes?
DylieWylie
That's not for you to decide, you're not the law. You're just being a dick and holding up traffic at that point.
XVUltima
And YOU'RE being a dick for thinking you need to go faster than me, WHEN I'M GOING AS FAST AS I CAN
MetaVulture
In Colorado we pass on the right, because no one knows how to use the left.
MyVoice
Michigan, too, so sad
Sionas
Left lane does not mean speeding though.
hydrophobicOtter
There are signs on the highway here, in a 65mph zone, that say "traffic going slower than 65 use right lane"
MissingImage
It does actually literally mean that. Slower to the left, faster to the right. Speeding people should always be on the left lane.
Sionas
No it does not left lane does not mean you can go 50 in a 30 zone. If you think differently, do it in front of a cop.
talianagisan
in my state you cannot go past the speed limit when passing someone. Sadly never enforced tho.
NecroTesticle
If I'm going the speed limit or slightly above in the fast lane, and you're riding my arse, you can get fucked, chum.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
You're not the police. Left lane is fast lane. You're just as much of a danger when you park it there.
MissingImage
Yep. There's a ton of good science behind this.
MissingImage
That's called a left lane violation and is illegal in every state in America. You cannot knowingly impede traffic.
MissingImage
You cannot punish another person either. The police can, but you definitely can't.
nojustsayitdont
All those laws refer to a) driving UNDER the speed limit and/or b) driving in the left lane continuously not using it for passing. Just 1/
nojustsayitdont
because someone wants to break the law and speed does give them right to do it dangerously around people who are going the speed limit.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
And it's still illegal to park it in the left lane. If you're not passing, move. If they're speeding, let the cops catch them. Not your job.
bigtimejimijimjam
But if I'm in the left lane going faster than the cars in the right lanes, I'm not going to slow down to move over so you can go faster.
JoffSacko
Yes you are
Shigoroku
Yes. If you find that you are no longer overtaking any vehicles to your right, then move to the right.
iwearlittlesocks
Left lane is for passing. Not cruising
kiritok
While this is the law in some states, it's not universal. Would be nice if it were

You should though. It helps prevent road rage and accidents

TRUE
TheBitchessOfScience
Oh this is exactly what you have to do in my country, is it not in America? You move in for the fast, and back out after
IWishAussieAnimalsWereMoreCuddly
Golden rule of highways: there’s always someone going faster than you. If you see them gaining on you, just pull momentarily into the 1/3
IWishAussieAnimalsWereMoreCuddly
Slow lane and let them pass. Please don’t hang in the passing lane trying to prove your point. That’s how traffic backs up. Sure, they 2/3
IWishAussieAnimalsWereMoreCuddly
shouldn’t be speeding in the first place, but that’s not yours to police. Don’t be petty. 3/3
MokiYoki
Traffic backs up cause of dickheads following too closely. You get to close then slam on breaks cause you aren't paying attention.
Draenic
All about spacing. If there is a conga line, yes. Understood. But if I can pass you before you reach the next car up, das a dick move.
HerrBisch
What annoys me is when the road is full, everyone's going more or less the same speed, and you get one jackass who tailgates every person >
HerrBisch
>in the outside lane in turn until they pull in to let him past.
bigtimejimijimjam
Agreed. But again, I'm not slowing down so you can go faster. I'm all for slow traffic to the right, but riding my ass is the dick move.
Cahine
Yep, that's fair.
ChubbyStubs
Thank you.
Ijustwannagohomeandeatcalzones
Whoever is downvoting you is a dick drivee
Ryann85
Assuming the lane to the right is open I agree. But if I’m going over the speed limit I’m waiting to move over until it clears up. I’m not..
Ryann85
Slowing down just so someone can speed up. I usually speed so if you aren’t happy going 10-15 over, tough shit
iamshocked
Wait so your saying you'll tailgate someone while you wait for a gap in traffic to overtake?
Ryann85
No I’m saying that if I’m in left lane and someone comes up behind me, I’m not moving over if it means I have to merge into slower traffic.
Ijustwannagohomeandeatcalzones
That's fair I just get annoyed when there is room to get over before the next car and they don't do it
Ryann85
That bothers me to so I get it. But I won’t get pissed at anyone who is speeding already
Ijustwannagohomeandeatcalzones
Like if there is some traffic I won't but when it's like a car every now and then I would be like bruh whyyy
JoffSacko
If you're blocking people get the f outta the way
Ryann85
No. Your convenience is not more important than mine. (Once again assuming the right lane isn’t open or is moving slower than I am)
