when someone is following you too closely in the car

[ceo]

I don't think, by "tapping" the breaks, stilleto meant "slamming on the brakes to make the tailgater hit you".

Road rage is some serious shit. I get so fuming mad I know I could hurt someone seriously, thus ruining my life, in a matter of seconds.

So I chill...let them be the asshole. I'm good. Don't instigate. I instigated when I was a young pup and easily couldn't have gotten shot or shot someone. It's hard but ya gotta.

Haha, thinking back I had to calm my fiance down one time, someone cut her off and I heard a blood curling "FUCK YOU YA MUTHAFUCKAS!" and she sped up to cut them off, calmed her down. wow

i use a three stage escalating process

first i let off the gas and go slower to get their attention, then i speed back up. it puts a lil distance between us and its the first hint i drop that theyre pissing me off.
if they persist then i hit the washer fluid enough to get them soaked.
and if they still havent had it then ill brake test em.

a few years back, someone persisted through all of that, so i let a big gulp from 7/11 fly onto their windshield. they ended up pulling off the road.

do you tap your breaks?

i do.

i usually drive even slower

if the kids arent in the car, I down shift abruptly...no brake lights..no warning...fuck you
I've also been known to get out of the way then proceed to draft their asses in my german sedan.....looks at pick3

if im not being a nasty bitch for the day or the kids are in the car...I pull over or change lanes as appropriate

I have road rage issues though

So...is it worth paying the deductible for a crash?

you've never been behind someone on the highway, on an otherwise sunny day and had your windshield get wet from the car in front of you?

i hate it!

I've never had that happen to me. And honestly, it really wouldn't bother me that much.
