Why?

[KC]

Coming home from work, I joined the mile long backlog of traffic due to the new road works ahead, when I notice this jumped up little ar*e hole in a Saxo driving as close as he could to the back of my motor when we stopped. Ferk this I thought and slipped into reverse, just to activate the reversing lights, and judging by his initial reaction, thought it had worked.

Off we go again and once again the little rat faced weasel drove as close as possible to the back of my car. At this point I could feel my blood pressure starting to rise and I moved sharply forward to show him I did not need him that close etc. Only for the little **** to do it again. Talk about a red rag to a ferking bulll, I jumped out the motor went to the back and gestured to him that he still had 15mm to go yet.

Sorry but I lost the plot and very nicely told him to leave a little more space between us as we were going no f**king where, due to the ferking lights up ahead. I think at that point his two brain cells managed to communicate with each other after 120 years of avoiding each other and he managed to adopt the usual form of defensive language and said F*** off.

I could have lamped him but thought nae his mammy would be proud now he can talk when not on the drugs or buckfast. Any how the cops would have me and its not worth it. Midwife threw away the wrong part when he was born. RANT OVER sorry to pick on you guys for the second time this week.

I know how you feel! Pet hate of mine too when people stop inches off your bumper when you're in slow moving traffic.

[jack]

ok mate know how you feel.i would of done the same.just go even slower if it happens again thats the london way.

[sxi-steve]

you should have done him, it would have been worth it. He wont stop tailing until he gets a good beating......

Hope you sat with the brake lights and fogs on, they are bright as **** at that range

Never thought of that in my red mist period. Remember to do that the next time. (oh pray there will never be a next time)

[leeandjude]

i had a **** in a beemer nearly slam into me the other day...sat in traffic approaching the tyne tunnel and he was leaving no space between us...so when we got up to about 5mph (!) i just pulled the handbrake.
Think the **** s**t himself then from the big screech behind me..funny but he left a big gap from then on

[lilangel]

oh i hate when people do it, just last nite drivin home at 60, and sum plonker was right there. have put the rear fogs on, kept touchin the breaks but he was still there. loads of cars in ahead so couldnt accelerate, i am thinkin of buying one of those message things for back screen where u can type anything and the people behind can read it. lol

I find that continuously washing the windscreen and the resulting overspray is an amusing and stress relieving and passive way of dealing with tailgaters!! It makes me laugh every time. You would think sometimes that it was brake fluid and not washer fluid by some of the reactions I have seen...
Doesn't work with all r-soles but when it does it's great!!!
