What do you consider Tail Gating....

[Mike Lowrey]

im sure you know the answer by now. becareful who you do that do, cause some people really take that shit seriously. if its some queer looking dude or girl, don't be scared, watch out for the thug looking ones.

[Jecht]

although you are partially right, brake checking is illegal.

Meh, for all they know I was slowing down so that I wouldn't hit a chipmunk or something.

...but there was something in the road. A squirrel, I think.

[SilverStoneZ]

At 6-7 feet.... you would barely be able to see the back tires... thats about 1/2 car length. I bet you were more like 15ft or so away. 5-7feet in front of you.... you'd barely be able to see the road that close to you.

Also need to take into consideration the seating position and height of the driver along with the length of the hood hight and height of the car to determin a good estimate of how far you really are compaired to how much you see. In Shawna's case if she sould see 6-7 feet she was probley 50ft behind the guy given she is eye level with her dash

P.S. Shawna please dont kill me.

[Shawna]

hahah I admit I cant see over my dash...sheesh

[VooDooXII]

Simple...two second rule.

I just flash my rear fog-light if people get too close. That thing is bright as hell...and sometimes, people think it's a brake light.

[BTLFED]

I don't get this thread.

[seandonn]

wire up some false brake lights and just hit the switch as you hit the gas. They wouldnt get back on your ass. They would never know which were your real brake lights.

[BiH1320]

I love slamming on the breaks when someone is tailgating me.
I usually come to a complete stop. Doesnt matter what road I am on.

[BuBBa DRiFT]

Do what the DMV tells you, you want to be 2 seconds behind the car, if a car passes a sign on the road, there should be at least a 2 second gap before you pass that same sign.

[VooDooXII]

Haha, my buddy just mentioned that to me. I do have a blank button!

[IndianStig]

the fuck rahul? wht blank button

its not blank for long


BTW, tail gating to me is when i can't see their bumper on a regular car, tires on a truck/suv, hood on a dropped car, i almost always back off the gas and switch to a lower gear, to not let them pass if they try, do it once then move over and let them pass, anticipating getting cut the fuck off and aimed with high beams

I remember once I was tailgating a girl leaving school in her nice new caddy. It was 40mph traffic, I was just showing off for friends. She slammed on the brakes and I cut into a nhood turn lane and almost cut off the school resource officer as he turned out off the nhood. that was bad lol. Worst thing I've done to a tail gater is come to an absolute stop on sever road, sideways, flicked them off, continued on my way, not letting them pass. turned onto tab roberts started driving 50mph, they stayed on my ass so i kept a 50mph through the road and then at the sharpest turn i did hard braking right as they were in the apex, OMFG did they wipe out. i think they hit the curb but i didn't give a fuck.

I consider tailgating is when you're riding behind someone too closely. For an extended period of time. Say 55mph less than 10ft for 5+ minutes, that gets on peoples nerves.

I was actually brake checked by a lady in her newer '05 mustang. I was traveling at 45 down on I-285 with some traffic. It was in one of the slower lanes, and I was trying to get around someone driving kind of awkwardly in an Altima. (not staying within lane) That's when I learned not to tailgate. You never know what's going to happen and every 'ft counts in order to avoid a collision.

I don't try to tailgate unless someone is going 55 in the fast line in a 65...then I'm kind of on them for a minute and if they don't move over then I get over and go around them. Usually people will move if they see a car in the fast lane traveling at a higher speed than them, so that's why I wait a minute before going around.

But I'm not the type to get in front of you and go slow...like some.


Today as a matter of fact. I actually got mad, because someone on 85N got off from an exit and just decided to overtake every lane until they got into the one I was traveling at 65-70mph while they were just going ever so slowly going the 55! I'm almost always in the left most lane. I nearly hit whoever it was!!!


Left lane is for going fast. All slow people need not apply.

[Romeo]

Fuck brake checking people.... i'll just throw shit at you.

Hell yeah. i always have pennies with me, cause people have no idea whats hitting them. quite funny.

[VooDooXII]

Eric's got his washer fluid nozzle pointed up...as long as you're going 30+, the stream will arc over the car and hit the car behind.

skeet

like the title says....

When you come over to my house and I ride that ass all night long; that is tail gating.:idb:
