I keep a full bottle of water. When that person is a complete ahole and almost causes a wreck I zoom past when I can and throw the bottle at their car door. I’ve seen a couple of drivers humbled.

How many of you assholes do it thinking it’s necessary to make people pull over?
If you’re going 70-75 and are in the left lane for no reason other than you have zero self awareness, I’ll make you aware. I might not tailgate but I will flash lights and get fairly close. Move the frick over, pretty please with sugar on top gramps.
Even when I’m doing 80-85 like normal, if the right lane is clear I get in it because I’m not fricking passing anyone
ETA if the right lane is clear I’ll pass on the right. No need to expend energy on retards unless given no choice.

It really doesn’t bother me. People who get road rage have pea sized brains. Let them get all worked up

Yeah, my limit has always been $200. It’s the hills and corners where they’ve nailed me for 30 years, anyway.
My CR97 (lol) will get put to the test on the way to Dallas next month. F250 speed limiter was at 94mph, and I’m about to find what the limit is on my Explorer ST. Obviously not taking I45 to do so, otherwise I’d be stuck behind OP doing 68 in a 75 in the left lane for the entire trip.

It’s a fricking law for a reason, the left lane is for passing, not cruising, that’s for the right lane.

I drive 40k miles a year. I do not ever tailgate bc I’m never in that much of a rush However, I will definitely get you to pull over if you’re holding up the left lane If you tailgate me before I can pull over and are aggressive about it, then yes I will break check your arse.
And this is totally reasonable. I work nights going to work on hwy 90. There were only a couple cars in the right lane I was going faster than. This bitch got on my arse bumper to bumper just to get off the next exit a quarter mile away.

I’ve always wanted to raise my pistol up so they can see it, but I think that’ll pose a greater risk vs. reward.

I love fricking with tailgaters
I know a guy who flipped the spray nozzle on his rear window over so it would spray straight back and upward a little. Filled the reservoir with piss. He always had a special answer for tailgaters.

I just let them pass....
then follow them home from a surreptitious distance....
for a 3 am visit on a moonless night one boring Sat, especially if LSU lost.

If someone flashes a gun at me they’re gonna have a hard time explaining to the cops why I put several holes in the back of their vehicle and in my own windshield. Dash cam won’t lie.

It was the damndest thing when that dog ran onto the interstate and crossed all that traffic to make it right in front of me.

Even if you don't temporarily blind yourself with glass splashing back from your own windshield, causing you to wreck your own vehicle at highway speeds, you're going to have a bad time when the only shell casings found are the ones from your recently confiscated weapon.

That’s a bad idea
You dont want to ever brandish a weapon unless you plan on using it

Fair enough. That’s a likely scenario, but would also be captured. If someone flashes a gun I won’t hesitate to defend myself.

Good way to get shot or go to jail. Pull a gun on some one tailgating you are instantly the aggressor and can’t claim self defense when that someone shoots you.

Mount one of these are similar above cab of truck, facing backwards, so you can see in the bed of the truck...maybe you accidentally turn it on when hitting your blinker to get over..
