How do you handle EXTREME tailgaters?

[The Atomic Ass]

While we're on the subject of bumper stickers and tailgaters...

Get 2! Have one on the left that says "lifetime NRA member" and on the right, it says "IF YOU COME ONE MORE GOD-DAMN INCH CLOSER I'LL SHOOT!"

Well, that's how I'd do it, anyway.

how about one that says if you can read this, you are in range

Most people wouldn't get it unfortunately.

effective but the 200 lb horn and weight of the compressor and air tank to run it might effect your fuel economy

At Osh, where they have the reflective house address stickers, I saw really nice reflective tape.

Today I pissed off what I think(?) was an old lady in a Ford Escort. After she passed me she gave me a sullen finger. I waved back to her. Within 60 seconds of getting ahead of me a GIANT truck ran right up her butt and sat on her bumper, maybe 3 feet away. Pot, Kettle, Black.

Tailgaters are not a problem. When they get too close, I click my program selector to "performance" and goose the accelerator. Instantly they are hit with a cloud of black smoke and they always back off. Almost as good as having a tail gunner with a couple of Ma Deuces.

I used to do something similar with an E-350 Navistar 7.3L Diesel (non-turbo). Mash the go-pedal and poof. The offensive smell also worked. Another good one -- the tailpipe was discharged to the right. Meet up at a light? Windows down? Force start in second (auto) and the offenders cabin was easily dosed with a breathing treatment.

Driving 55 in a 55mph zone is not dangerous. If you hit me in the rear, I will be getting paid. There is NO way you can say driving slower is dangerous. the people who speed are the issue. I will NOT drive faster to appease someone behind me. Assured clear distance, look it up.

Seems obvious, doesn't it? Well, to some people anyway...
