THE WITZL Forums Junkie Toymods Social Secretary Location: Sydney Registered: July 2002	Re: Tail Gating (again) Wed, 13 November 2002 05:52 i myself was once a crazy lunatic 17 yr old driver... and i tailgated, not viciously but just followed cars too closely, and wanted to go faster. Anyway i learnt my lesson when i rear ended someone at a roundabout cos they changed their mind about going or not and i didnt leav enough room to stop. So now i dont tailgate. Nor am i an OVERLY agressive driver. I know my place on the road and repect others, giving them room when they need it, loving to the left lane when i see someone approacing from behind etc etc. I like to think im relatively aware and considerate on the roads (and i spend a lot of time on big traffic sydney roads) Now at the moment i drive a SHITBOX KE50 corolla. I had someone tailgate me the other day up a hill cos i wast going fast enough (3K motor, was as fast as i COULD go). So i naturally backed off a little bit to give them the idea... they just maintained their speed almost until they hit my car.. then decided to back off. Once we got the top of the hill i tried to speed up to the speed limit as quickly as possible for the poor bastard behind me (i forgave him for the tail gating).... and we got the speed limit of 60 and he was still 2m from my arse. I moved up to my cruising speed of 65-70 and there he was, still sniffing the chrome on my bumper.... This is when i start to get annoyed. As a test i drop back a gear and speed up (slowly.. this is a shitbox remember) to around 80 or so... he is still there... swerving side to side like an impatient fuck looking to overtake. So i slow back down to my cruising speed, and of coure he is even more impatient, flashing high beams and yelling etc. I figure.. only one option. This car cost fvck all. i slam the brakes. BUT DAMMIT his modern car pulled up faster than mine and he VERY NARROWLY avoided me... mainly cos i didnt really slam the brakes hard.. and i only did it for a moment... not full on. The guy gets the shits and overtakes and disappears at 120kmh. Now i just WISH i had've slammed the brakes on harder. Then it would be money for me... a new set of subs, nwe amps, new box, etc etc... and i even had a camera in the car. So this is a warning to dickhead tailgaters.... expect me to slam on my brakes HARD. you will smash into me if you tailgate. [Report message to a moderator]
