Now if you could just figure out how to light it on fire...

I don't care about tailgaters though. Their illogical impatience and anger eats away at them, which is punishment enough. I'll make it a point to not even acknowledge them. I secretly want them to hit me so I can collect the insurance. Vehicles are very safe these days so there is little chance of serious injury.

On my motorcycle, I have no tolerance for tailgaters. I can stop on a dime, and the consequences of being rear ended are much higher. I'll turn around and gesture for them to back off. This is rarely problem though since my bike is the fastest thing on the road. The only time people get a chance to tailgate is when stuck in a line of cars with no opportunity to pass.
