If i am on the right lane, i'll switch to the left lane to allow him to pass.
If i am not on the speed lane and have no option to allow him to pass, i'll let go my foot from the accelerating pedal to open up a bigger gap from the car in front of me, so that in case of anything, i don't have to do emergency sharp braking.

Some idiots have no brain, so i'll have to do the thinking and take precautions for him too. doh.gif

I hate them too especially those bengz wiralution with HID, they think their car is fast and furious. Normally what I will do when they tailgate me is just floor the pedal and let him smell my car's smoke. Works every time for me. icon_rolleyes.gif

Another way of getting rid of them is just gently tap on the brake before letting him pass, it might sound phucked up but it will maybe teach him how dangerous to tailgate.

Lol. Try that if someone tailgate you is a 4x4 with Kangaroo bar and metal bumper.

The one with the more patience wins here.


All in all, just let them pass. If the front is jam full of cars, or he/she tailgate you wherever you go even in the middle or left lane, just drive as usual.



p/s: I think we have so much thread regarding this already.

How to Safely Conquer and Humiliate an Obnoxious Tailgater With Defensive Driving Arts


You 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.

the main thing is to remain calm and collected. dont get emotions into the picture, if u do then they have already won half the battle smile.gif,

usually depends la,
1) if highway and i overtaking somebody usually i will move a bit faster if the guy behind is being a gentleman and using his signal and not his high beam.
2) if he is flashing/ signaling from far away on a two lane road and its empty i will move to the left
3) if i am overtaking and he flashing... i will floor it and smoke him.
4) but the worse is if for no reason at all that guy wanna tailgate me (maybe asking for a road race) just ignore until he overtakes. and then see his next step, if he brakes then maybe if i am alone and the raod is clear then i will persue, but if he goes his way then i will forget about it.

if i am planning to do something, i do it when i am alone in the car, i dont want to risk the lives of my loveones... hope u all do the same too

my favorite is JDM cars, haha, just floor them until they reach their 180kmph limiter, then wave bye bye. icon_idea.gif , but of couse depends on road conditions and traffic...

safety first guys

so all of u here are the victims ??

no tailgaters here ? well i'm one of them but i aint the crazy type.

why do i tailgate ?
-- coz the donkey in front of me is hogging the road.
-- i dont care if u're doing 110 or 120kmh, but i'm in a hurry and please let me pass.
-- no need to tell me the speed limit is 80kmh, i'm in a hurry and please let me pass.
-- i'm not trying to disturb u or asking u for an F1 race, i'm just in a hurry and please let me pass.
-- i wanted to flash my high beam, but you wouldnt like it too. in fact, your eyes might hurt from the light.
-- honk ? that's rude

so tell me what i should do ? i just wan to reach my destination fast.

for those type of ppl below, i do condemn these ppl.
1. tailgate in slow or middle lane.
2. tailgate during slow traffic.
3. tailgate + high beam + honk + fingers
4. tailgate in kampung area
5. tailgate then slow down then tail again and slow again <- pure retard

i also hate donkeys who :
1. drive slow yet dont wan to let faster cars thru. they probably think they paid roadtax like everyone else.
2. wan to press press the brake and try to scares the behind car.
3. floor the pedal then slow down back just to show his car and smoke anyone whenever he wants.
4. got emotional and try to race
5. pretend donno and continue slow and steady.
6. got plenty of space on left lane but dont wan to drive there.


that's all for now. tongue.gif
