A buddy of mine and I left to go see a movie. We got to the end of our road and turned left (3 way stop). Guy comes out of no where in a rolls royce and is all over my butt. I pulled over multiple times on the back road and motioned for him to come around but he wouldn't. So we pull out on the hwy and the guy is still on my butt. I pulled over 2 more times and motioned, but still, he wouldn't pass. So we descided to play.

We pulled the seat belts tight and took off again down the road. I would slow down to almost a stop then tear out. I did this about 5 times. Then I started brake checking him randomly, then back to the slowing down and speeding up. Finally, after 8 miles, I had, had enough. I speed up to about 10 over the speed limit, with this doofus nearly touching my back bumper. I slowed down to about 30 mph, then floored the truck, as soon as I saw the rear of the rolls drops I slammed on the brakes to a full and complete stop. My buddy and I jumped out and walked back, the front end of his pretty rolls was underneath my truck. We staired at him for a second, got back into the truck and drove off.

He didn't tail gate us anymore after that.

Picture of the truck I was driving a few days later

I despise tailgaters. I have stopped in the middle of the road and walked back to the a$$wipe and had a little conversation with them.

A while back I was going up I-85 in Charlotte in my Suburban towing a 30 foot trailer. A couple in a black Lexus couldn’t have been 10 inches off my butt. I slowed down and then sped up and they stayed right there. Slowed waaaayyyy down and floored it and they still stayed there. Now take into mind that there were 3 open lanes. I slammed on the brakes hard enough to make the anti-lock actually chirp the tires and then floored it again. The guy ran up beside me gave me the, “You’re #1” signal. Then they pulled in front of me and slammed on the brakes.

I swerved to the right to miss him then pulled up next to him. He started yelling and cussing. I kept on going till my trailer was next to him then I slowly changed lanes went all the way over to the shoulder and ran him completely off in the ditch.

When he got back on the road he was barely visible in my mirror.

Moral to the story - never mess with someone 12 times your size.

HAHA, must run in the family, I have run my share of people off the road with my trailer. I don't know why people want to try to bully you with a little car when you have a big truck and trailer.

I had a mexican try to ram my trailer a few years back. He was in astro van, the trailer had a set of those 70's era ford truck hub caps on it. The hubcaps were massively thick and could have been used for weapons. All he did was tear up the side of his van. At 55 mph, the trailer rocked over then came back at him with a vengence. Smashed the side in, I drove on like nothing happened.

My wife was with me, and this was the day after our first date.

i hate tailgaters!!

one day i was an accused tailgater. i was leaving school and there was an obs silverado about 3 car lengths in front ofme us going 40 mph in a 35. he slams on his brakes and start waving his fist at me like i was tailgating him!! he does this a couple times so i finally get pissed because i wasnt near hime.

i got to the interstate and got in front of him. i fly passed him and lock em up. he went off the road and came back but just to get on my ***. i took off a little and he tried to keep up and once he caught me an 18 wheeler saw what was goin on and slowed beside me to about 40 mph in a 70 with him stuck behind us.

after he tried to pass me in the grass i nailed it and so did he... needless to say he dissapeared in my rear view lol.

I hate tailgaters mores than anything! I will play with them like that or, give them the old box game! I get it a lot in my truck but for some reason EVERYBODY tailgates me in the wife's little Mazda3... I dont know why but it's like when I leave the driveway, all of a sudden I'm a damn train connected to another car. They get real mad when I start playing in that.
One night, we left the truck at the dyno shop because it had been getting late. On our way home I had a BMW of some sort put his headlights below my bumper to where I couldnt see them anymore. I dont drive slow, safe but not slow. I usually run between 5-15 over, depending on the roads and conditions. This BMW had me so mad that the 35 minute drive took us almost 3 hours to get home because I wouldnt let him around me for anything. I cant believe how that little car pulls up top. Plus it has the auto-assist so that helps a lot. Usually the lady gets mad for me doing it but he was so close and it was dark that she was pissed!
