You would not believe how many of them fall for this - just like in REAL life!

    This is a fine game! I L-O-V-E abandoning women...

  • If there isn't anybody around, I'll move into the lane to the left of me - roll my passenger window all the way down - and let them pass me on the right, if they got the nads! Don't roll your window down until the tailgater can see it happening.

    Many times, these ppl are cowards, and think you're gonna cap 'em, give them the finger, yell at 'em, etc - all of which is a possibility, if I'm in a whimsical mood. My call, not theirs...

    A variation of this is... once you move over, DO NOT let them pass you. I've done this all the way to 150 MPH at times.

  • Another great one is to pretend you're drunk! Drift over the line - hit your brakes and correct - slow down - go over the other line - correct again - speed up - slump over the steering wheel - then fall on the center console.

    I suppose it goes without saying, but don't do this if you're actually drunk or even have a little beer on your breath!!!

DO NOT DO ANY OF THE ABOVE WITH SEMI TRUCKS UNLESS YOU'RE SUICIDAL!!!

Hrm...

Well, those are the tactics I use the most. If I can think of more, I'll let you know...
