If they don't back off they usually either get closer and pissed or they try and pass me. Usually when they try and pass I let them get to my drivers window, flip the bird and just hold steady with them and not let them around...Rinse and repeat till they get the hint.
That sounds therapeutic. lol

ak2007r6, sounds like a stupid way to get killed by a nutcase (other driver) for absolutely no reason.

Anything is possible. Usually just slowing down is enough for people to get the hint and back off

There was a news story in Houston a few days ago about a case of road rage where the driver blocked the guy's car off, then the other guy got out of his car and got into a tussle and ended up killing the guy.

To me it's not worth it. Never know if the guy is going to block you off and pull out a gun.

I don't know about anyone else but I carry my 9mm with me in my truck so if someone wants to try and pull one on me well they'll be looking at a barrel also. If your in such a hurry to ride my *** then you shoulda left earlier.

Somebody tailgates me and I gladly brake check them. They keep it up, I gladly slam on brakes. Rear-end me, then **** you. I've got insurance and a big steel bumper. Had a buddy brake check a cop. Cop rear-ended him, and the city paid for his car to get fixed. Simple. Sometimes I'll get creative and motion for them to pass when there's oncoming traffic, or let them pass, then tailgate them. Yes, I know by doing that I'm guilty of the crime. No need to point that out.

I know it happens. I also am not dumb enough to leave my vehicle.

You're not in the pope-mobile, bullets go through glass pretty easily.

But beyond that, what do you accomplish by giving the guy the finger and not letting him over?
