What do you do if a car is riding dangerously closely behind you?

The Blue bull

The most effective way I found is to suddenly clean your window. For some reason when you spay water on your window, the person behind you back off quickly. It is so funny sometimes when you see it. Give it a try.

slow down to piss him off

Dead Zone

Try to pull in and let the idiot pass. If this is not possible, drive really slowly to annoy him/her, I hate tailgaters!

Snorkie

I will increase speed and outride it .......

i used to slow down cos if we have an accident i dont want to get hit hard, but now im gonna put my hazards on, thanks ray ray
EDIT:
lmao, this is hilarious
Im gonna do the headlights, the washer spray, the horn and the hazards at the same time

pull over and let the person pass. i think that the most ridiculous thing that people do is to hit their brakes....all that does is make an already aggressive driver really pissed!

Slow down and hoot like mad... then let them overtake, and give them a dirty look.

I hit the brakes to give them a bit of a fright and then continue driving very slowly - just to p*** them off.

slam the breaks on.

I glare at them evilly thru my rear view mirror and take my foot completly off the accelrator. Or if i had the time, id wire up the brake/reverse lights to a switch on the dash, so i can at least flash them (and make them kak themselves! 2 for 1!) without heavy braking.
You're actually doing them a favour - keeping them from getting a speeding fine!
(I already drive fast, so the only ppl to drive on my gat are REALLY breaking the limit!)

Reduce speed and encourage the follower to pass and patently observe the reaction.

ray ray

put on your hazard lights

Road Runner

Push my "Drop 9 Inch nails" button that has been installed on my cars dashboard!!!! - if only.

Seriously - I'd slowdown to let the idiot pass.

slow down and drive slowly for a few minutes and then move over to the left r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-ow-ly.

I would really like to be driving a skadonk of car and put my brakes on and teach him a lesson - next time I will try spraying my back window. Have also heard switching your car lights on suddenly because when they go on at the back, people sometimes think it is your brake lights going on

I would never slam on brakes it wouldnt be worth it if they crashed into you. If it is during the day I'd turn my lights on, this turns the back ones on and makes people think you are breaking.
At night. I'd put my hazards on and move to the side, so that they could pass.

Slow down to upset him/her. or worst case scenario BRAKE and then accelerate, it's illegal if they can prove it. But damn, they get the fright of their lives.

Did it once to a couple of hooligans racing each other, caused the two cars to collide into each other (Not Mine) the guy behind me braked just in time but his buddy didn't, they were driving a BMW and Mercedes that belonged to their girlfriends fathers. Another incident saw a guy swerve and fly onto the pavement.

But it is dangerous, I would not ty it again.

rabbit1986

i go exactly the speed limit and not an inch more just to piss them off LOL

I wouldĀ´ve said: gently tap the brakes, but blue bull has a better idea, thanks.

littleamylouise

Yeah I would slow right down, people usually get the hint and back off.

Bull's No 9

Hit the brakes, force them to stop then pull my crowbar out from under my seat while audibly and visibly gesturing to them what I am about to do, works every time, most speed off in a frenzy, I doubt they ever learn their lesson as these are ignorant and inconsiderate pigs we are dealing with, does help calm the nerves though.
I am however not allowed to behave as such with my wife in the car anymore.
