If I ever get tailgated now, rather than getting annoyed, I either A) Drive like an old women and watch with delight as their face reddens in the rear view mirror, or more commonly B) Use my windscreen washers constantly til they back off (unless i've just been polishing the car of course) Either way, I dont let my blood pressure rise cos of some twat who fancies having a go in a shit car.

what a tit. Unfortunately, its something that happens on a frequent basis when driving an S2000 I've noticed. What I've found extremely satisfying s is driving extremely slowly until the give you more space. Sometimes I've gone down to 30 in a 60 before they've got the hint. You can watch as their faces change colour and the hand gestures get more imaginative.

Personally, getting out of the car is something I would never do. I regularly drive through Brixton and Streatham where its advisable to have the roof up at all times.

Kate, probably the best bet. I'll try it the next time some f*cking clown inevitably tries it on.

dont use your windscreen washers......

as long as you top is up use your head light washers they will get the car behind even better than the windscreen washers.

So I put on the brakes, come to a stop and get out of the car to ask him what his f*cking problem is.
I think this is dodgy mate... you really don't know who you could be up against next time.
