For me, if someone is approaching quickly behind me, and paces me about 2-3 cars away for a few hundred feet, I will gladly move over. But if that person rides my ass for a few miles, I have no problem slowing down to 45 in the fast lane and speeding up again. I might even throw in a brake check here or there. Its even better when you are rolling with you friend who blocks them in.
I do this in my Tundra, not sure if I will be doing brake checks on SUVs when im in my (future) s2000.
I remember back in the day when I was in high school, I took the tube from my wiper nozzles and pointed them forward in front of my grill. If someone tailgates me and I catch them at the next light I give them a healthy spraying of washer fluid(sorta like automotive bukakke I guess). The only lame part was my wipers would go off and smear my windshield.

 

Tailgating is ILLEGAL!!!

What does that have to do with the price of eggs in Egypt? The person drove beyond their limits and lost control of the truck.

That person has no business tailgating.

How about I put a 5,000 pound truck on the rear bumper of your precious Honda S2000 at 35 plus mph and see how you like it.

 

Sorry I started this to all the great members of of S-2000. I really think this is one of the best car forums on the internet.

I did not anticipate the reaction and ask a moderator to please remove the thread.

I depart.

It isn't about whats legal and hwat illegal dude, its about allowing the devil in him to bring joy to a cars spin out. This is why the ppl in this coutnry are soo ed up, its cuz you guys have your damn MORALS wrong. You guys dont know right from wrong. YOu need laws to do right n w/out so you guys would do wrong n harm. Thats the problem, ya'll need moms and dads (meaning the gov't, police etc etc) to make you guys do right from wrong n teach you right. Just because he broke the law it doens't mean that Timphipps should put that guys life in danger by pulling him into a situation like that. ALL OF YOU have your damn morals wrong tahts why society is soo ed up n half yoru kids are going to grow up n' follow your damn foot steps.

I will close the thread as per your request. It is sad to see something like this get so out of hand with insults, name calling, and all around disrespect. I find it funny that the folks who constantly call others immature are the ones who, themselves, are the most immature

The really funny part is (I will keep this person nameless) someone in this thread preaching safety is becoming a fixture in Street Encounters egging folks on to race on public streets and talking about his own street races - once a troll always a troll, no matter what you drive......

Thank you for the story Tim - glad to see you got to stick it to one of the world's jerks
