Default This guy was an a-hole

So I was driving home, minding my own business when all of a sudden I have the front end of a Toyota Tacoma on my rear bumper. I'm thinking, what an a-hole, so I tap my brakes three times (not brake check). The guy gets even closer to my rear bumper. I said screw it and went one lane over to let the idiot by. He decides to change lanes with me and continue to ride my ass. At that point: was me.


So I dropped to fourth gear went up to about ninety (which wasn't very smart considering its been raining) and put a couple bus lengths on him. I then slowed down and never saw the moron again. I hate tailgaters!

I had a Nissan MORONo do the same thing the other day on the highway. I moved from the center to the right and he stayed right there like a prick. I dropped it into 3rd and smoked him. I swear I should start carrying a brick with this painted on it "DON'T TAILG8" and chuck it into their window.

NEXT time just turn your wipers on with the water shooting out.if they follow close enough they should get sprayed.

They have sports car envy on the road. I smoke suv's and truck on the daily.

When ever I do the downshift idea, they just slowly catch up and resume doing what they were doing. I love the brick idea, but wouldn't like to get shot.
