Hell, someone should try this just to teach them a lesson they'll never forget....I know I would...
Source LinkHow to Safely Conquer and Humiliate an Obnoxious Tailgater With Defensive Driving ArtsYou too may have learned the great wisdom of driving slower than faster in life, and had to put up with that goliath SUV or speedster about to ram their way up your bumper. Now, you can practice simple, safe, and effective measures to defeat this enemy while also discouraging their poor behavior.
Steps 1. Properly determine you are being offensively tailgated. This will prevent you from abusing or overusing the following steps. Anyone can find themselves suddenly too close to the car in front of them, yet it is the offensive adversary who wishes to unsettle you into speeding up way beyond speed limits, to reward their ego.
2. Prepare for adversary's high beam lights by flipping your rear view mirror upward. You may already be flustered by their high beams or proximity of low-beams. Stay calm.
3. Tell your passengers to remain calm and that you are going to take defensive action.
4. Engage your hazard lights to signal your adversary for something unexpected. This constitutes an official emergency scenario and especially while highway driving.
5. Release your foot from the gas, and maintain both hands on your wheel, do not turn.
6. You will begin to decelerate, this will frustrate and confuse your adversary, causing him or her to consider all of the options.
7. Do not tap your brake unless on the extremely rare chance that adversary decides to slightly bump you, which is highly unlikely nor desired.
8. Once adversary has been scolded by their spouse, signficant other or friends for riding too close to a vehicle that technically needs to pull over, or they realize your speed is slowing down will they remove themselves as the problem.
9. Meanwhile, accept that nobody wants an accident and if the alternative to this is slowing to a stop, this is absolutely acceptable in terms of life values.
10. Prepare for honking, slurs, crying, or other protest as the adversary behind you has now officially become the "slow poke" driver for every other car behind them and you their sensei master.
11. As this driver now passes you in a storm to plow ahead, you have offered him/her an experience they can look forward too again, and again, if enough people read this, so do share the wisdom.
12. Consider changing lanes and driving in one which is frequented by slower drivers.
Tips * Practice peace and calm as other drivers actions seek to disturb your driving practices.
* Remind yourself that you are entitled to the safest possible experience on the road and must offer this, to inspire others as well.
* Know that other cars who are not seeking to run you off the road will mentally respond to your hazards and slow driving with empathy and be reminded of how fortunate they are to not have a car problem.
* If they remain an abuse on the road or to you, consider a cell phone call to report the driver.
Warnings * Never look at, engage, or taunt the adversary in any way, they must learn from repeat experience and their own bad outcomes, not our personal condemnation.
