BF2S Forums What do you do when (somebody constantly tailgates you)

If you have a manual car, just put the car into reverse with the cluth in, thats gotta scare him a bit..


One of my friend has a Aircraft Landing light hooked up to the back of his car, so if someone is tailgatting him he just turns it on so it blinds them to fuck that they either slow down or crash.

But really, just change lanes, speed up, or slow down so much that he'll have to pass you.

Great way to destroy your gearbox considering that the flywheel / gearbox could still be spinning forward when you slam it into reverse

(or am i getting it wrong?)

Slow to a crawl and piss them off even more, if they make gestures or shout, laugh and smile at them (or blow kisses). It gets people SO MAD when you laugh at their anger.

Right after that you discover the person behind is a redneck and that you've gotten your head shot off...

I live in a country without rednecks, or legal firearms...

So do I, but then the idiot just comes up and puts his knife in you

In a car.....? Surely just drive off when he gets out.... lol. Reminds me of tenacious D film, the dudes like "stand still im gonna fucking stab you" and hes only got one leg and is on crutches and they're like "no" and run away. lulz.

I slowed down to 70 kph once in a 100 kph zone coz this stupid fucking bitch was way too close ( couldn't see her bonnet, only windscreen).

After about 1 Km she over takes me with this stupid dumb straight ahead stare, I don't even think she noticed what she was doing at all.

AND i carry a Glock 17 9 mm for work. i had the dumb fucking cunt lined up in my mind.....fuck i hate the law sometimes.

A guy I knew from work did the following:
He kept a ash tray full of 5 cent pieces in his car. When someone gets way too close he grabs a handful and simply chucks them out the window. As they hit the tailgating car they cause heaps of nasty paint chips. Probably scare the crapper out of the tailgating driver coz they make a pretty loud noise when they hit. Paint chips cost hundreds of dollars to fix up, so if they care about their car, they probably wont do it again.

idk if all cars have it, but at least new cars (auto), pop it into reverse while moving forward, it just sits in neutral and you roll away. The only thing is, i dunno if the reverse light still turn on or not.



Velocitychaos, you're an accountant right?

Nope.

I slow down.

That's actually what driving instructors tell people to do, slow down then go back to your original speed, it makes a gap between you.

Just remembered. Cops actually do this here in Finland with civilian cars. They tailgate until you get pissed and start going faster and then they pull you over and give you a ticket. If you can't prove that they were almost inside your trunk, you just can't do anything. Once the cops though lost the case. Some respected Colonel was riding shotgun and witnessed the event. The cop got fined and a slap on the wrists. "Don't ever do this again!" (atleast do it so that you don't get caught...). Speeding is the worst crime here in Finland. Some of you have probably read about those cosmic 20000€ + speeding tickets the cops hand out here. The police check your tax info from last year and you get fined by your income.

I usually get the urge of washing my windshield a lot if someone is trying to get up my ass in the traffic. This is one thing that gets the blood pressure up for sure. Especially if the weather is clear and the car behind is clean as a whistle. Even more fun if it's a cabriolet

This never used to happen to me as I was always in a rush. Now things are more chilled I find this happens allot. My method:
Touch the brake peddle enough not to brake but just to put on the light. If he continues, repeat and take your foot off the accelerator and slow way down, eyeball them in your rear view mirror, then put the foot down. They usually get the idea.

On a freeway/motorway. just get the fuck outta the way. The outside lane is for passing not cruising. If someones up your ass its cus they want to pass, so unless you are along side passing someone yourself.....................MOVE IT!!

Make an emergency brake .

Just say there where an animal if anybody asks you why ..

Technically, if the guy hits you from behind, it's always his fault, as long as you have an excuse right?

This is true in the UK. Same if you pull out of a T junction and get T Boned. Even if the guy is doing 100mph you still should have judged how soon he would be on you and not pulled out.

I agree with what your saying, but I think some of you guys are missing the point, this guy tailgated me no matter where I went; middle lane, left lane, whether I sped up or slowed down, something that made he/she just want to stay on my tail until waiting for me to do something. Thats why I was like, wtf this never happened to me before.

Sue for stalking

Just keep slowing down. He'll leave eventually.
