Buy a bigger, taller truck - then install those eBay 150W "Zenon" blue bulbs. If ya can't beat 'em - join 'em

I would usually slow down, signal them to pull over and resolve it in person. But you gotta be ready to deal with it physically.

I live in L.A., and just about every time I look in the rear-view mirror, some a-hole is tight on my ass! I'm talking about stop-and-go traffic, because that is where it ALWAYS happens. Too many people want to pull up to within an inch or two of my bumper.

The thing that works best for me, is to totally ignore the person behind me, and leave a larger than usual space in front of me (nothing ridiculous, just a careful and respectful distance).

It's just a mind pimp, but when people see how careful I am being, they usually don't continue to drive up my ass. It's not because they are concerned about me, or my car, it's because other people will look at what they are doing and think they are dickheads. Which they are.

Physical altercations are wonderful, but teaching all of these a-holes a lesson would be a full-time job!

I don't condone or suggest this, but

when I was a kid I carried a 1000000 candlepower spotlight in my car to blind tailgaters, expecially the ones who felt they would highbeam me. I also carried smoke bomb firecrackers for when they passed me finally and tried to yell.

I'm pretty sure your joking, but I can't tell from your post (no winkie!).

That's a choice way to get smoked by someone with the real thing.
