Back off from the car in front, don't brake just ease off the accelerator, when you have enough distance flick on the rear fog lights and increase your speed,
They see red think your braking so also brake, and you increase the distance between you,
Generally find they don't come back and tailgate after that, if they do repeat and they give up |

Increasing distance from the car in front is in the highway code for dealing with them, |

I used to hold people like this up as much as I could as long as I was doing the speed limit I felt I was right to carry on that way.
However I was once on the other side of therein on a motorway drive I was in a hurry, and someone in the out sideline doing the speed limit took offense to my wishing them out the way and slowed down more holding me up for most of the drive.
As a result I missed my opportunity day goodbye to my mother before she passed away.
As such if someone wishes to go fast and get past me I get out the way. It's a lot less dangerous than playing silly games and I've no knowledge as to their situation.

Haha that would be true, I beleive it was advised by advanced school but since the advent of road rage they advise increase distance and brake gently and early, pulling in to let them pass when safe to do so
Point taken maybe avoid the fog light trick but defo increase distance from the car in front |

"Damn all those people in expensive cars. Bring on the clapped out death traps "
That's what I'm getting at, we have normal 8k car but if we had a Jag we'd be super careful with it rather risk getting hit and fucking up our insurance xx |

When that happens I tend to slow down by lifting my foot off the accelerator slightly, or giving the windscreen a quick wash.
I opened the boot once at a set of lights, to an idiot who had been doing this to me asked him if he wanted to get in the boot. |

They don't realise that it's distracting the driver in front. I slow down and move over so they can pass. If it's on an un-passable road I'm afraid they have to bear with me. The worse times are on unlit winding roads in rural places. I've had a queue of cars behind me because I don't know the twists and turns like the locals do. I'm doing 30-35,they want to do 50. |

I drive on the A50 everyday and this is common problem as I am quite often caught up in a long queue due to lorries overtaking. I've noticed in recent weeks instead of trying to get up my arse the idiots now undertake and drive as far as they can go on the inside lane until they can go no further then pull over with no care for themselves and then you nearly drive into their arse.

"Just get out of their way. That's what the Police advise
Your not giving in or loosing anything. And that is the day you don't die in a car crash"
I didn't enter life to play games with moronic c@nts, nor have it spoiled by them. I am most certainly not in any competition with them either. It's refreshing to let them go and back out of my life. |

I think the switching on of the rear fog lights could actually make your actions illegal. Apart from that it's probably OK. |

Is the issue the car being an expensive one or someone tailgating?
In my experience it's more likely to be boy racers (in suped up bangers ) up my arse than a nice Merc.

Most if not all of the higher end Mercs, BMWs and Audis all have emergency brake assist. Apply emergency brakes before the driver reacts. Maybe they want to see if thd system really works  lol |

As far a I am concerned the closer one gets to my exhaust the slower I will go.
Afterall the smaller the breaking distance behind me, the bigger a gap I need in front, in order to slow down gently enough to avoid the incompetant muppet behind hitting me.
(And no I don't genarally go slow) |

You're not innocent if, as a result of getting annoyed with their bad driving you start to do things to get your own back. For example if you slow down on the excuse to yourself that you're doing to increase the distance between yourself and the car on front but really you're just doing it to piss the guy of behind you because you think he needs to be taught a lesson.
Sometimes people forget that it's not their job to police the road system. |

"Stop watching and worrying about what's going on behind you and concentrate on what's in front of you."
My Mum told me that's what her driving instructor told her, so I followed the advice. The day I didn't notice a plain clothes police car up my chuff trying to get past me on the A1 for 4 miles taught me that maybe, just maybe I should check the rear view mirror now and then  |

It's an overtaking lane, you should only be in it if you're actively overtaking some thing if someone can undertake you (and they aren't lane splitting on a bike) then you weren't over taking |

I agree, not necessarily in the wrong lane but almost definitely in the wrong lane. You should keep left except when overtaking. If someone is undertaking you you are quite clearly not overtaking. |

If you're not aware of what's behind you how on earth can you drive apropropriatley for what's in front of you?
If you don't know someone is right on your ass how will you know to make sure to keep a longer than normal distance in front so you can take longer to break to avoid getting rear ended.
Or if you're about to turn right into a side road without knowing what's behind you how do you know if you're about to get over taken and get wiped out in he middle of your turn? |

Big powerful cars tend to have big powerful breaks and driver swho like driving them so they're more used to what they can do.
A high end BMW or audi behind say an old Fiat 500 if both slam on at the same time the gap between them will likely grow as the 4 disk breaks on the performance car shed speed much faster than the two disks and 2 drums of the economy car |

I think that the point is is that you should most of your concentration on what is going on in front of you rather than what maybe going on behind you. That does not mean that you should never look in your rear view mirror nor that you should take no regard to what is happening behind you either. |

If they're actually within a foot at speed that's actually quite impressive skills at say 60mph the level and speed of reactions required to absorb speed changes in 12 inches for more than a few seconds is impressive |

Course not, tailgating is retarded but usually just tucking in and letting the nob past is much better than trying to make a point.

A high end BMW or audi behind say an old Fiat 500 if both slam on at the same time the gap between them will likely grow as the 4 disk breaks on the performance car shed speed much faster than the two disks and 2 drums of the economy car
We don't drive slow and our car isn't crap, it doesn't matter how good your car is if your a foot behind us, any closer and it would be anal sex for cars xx
If they're actually within a foot at speed that's actually quite impressive skills at say 60mph the level and speed of reactions required to absorb speed changes in 12 inches for more than a few seconds is impressive "
Not at 60mph, more like 20mph and mainly in traffic x |

"Stop watching and worrying about what's going on behind you and concentrate on what's in front of you.
What sort of Driving instructor taught you that, sack him/her.
You start driving differently because of what is going on behind you and you are not concentrating or driving according to what is going on in front of you.
That's common sense
If you're not aware of what's behind you how on earth can you drive apropropriatley for what's in front of you?
If you don't know someone is right on your ass how will you know to make sure to keep a longer than normal distance in front so you can take longer to break to avoid getting rear ended.
Or if you're about to turn right into a side road without knowing what's behind you how do you know if you're about to get over taken and get wiped out in he middle of your turn?
I think that the point is is that you should most of your concentration on what is going on in front of you rather than what maybe going on behind you. That does not mean that you should never look in your rear view mirror nor that you should take no regard to what is happening behind you either.
I was always taught any time you plan on changing speed or direction you should have a look and know what's happening behind you before you make any changes"
Me too, a quick check all around before indicating to pull out. |

What somebody is doing behind you is not your responsibility.
Adjusting your distance to prevent the car behind going in to you as you need longer to brake! Don't be ridiculous!
Mirror Signal Manouver when turning right! Again if somebody is right on your arse - that's their responsibility.

You're right it's not my responsibility but a rear end, or getting taken out by an overtaker when taking a right is most likely going to end up with me losing limbs, my life or at the very least a year of my life wasted with physio and rehabilitation.
See I have grown quite fond of my limbs and the old "but legally I was right!!!" Isn't quite going to keep them attached as they're getting smashed by a ton of steel.
Oh and as for the bit about adjusting the distance to the car in front that's actually the highway codes advice. |

I drive on the A50 everyday and this is common problem as I am quite often caught up in a long queue due to lorries overtaking. I've noticed in recent weeks instead of trying to get up my arse the idiots now undertake and drive as far as they can go on the inside lane until they can go no further then pull over with no care for themselves and then you nearly drive into their arse. And when you flash you get the finger
If you're getting undertaken you're in the wrong lane.
Not necessarily, I've seen some insane undertaking.
It's an overtaking lane, you should only be in it if you're actively overtaking some thing if someone can undertake you (and they aren't lane splitting on a bike) then you weren't over taking "
But I have seen people undertake at ridiculous speeds and cut in on the person overtaking. |

Other peoples bad driving is often a topic here, but I can assure you that anyone who drives a car / motorcycle / truck /peddle cycle or any other vehicle you can think of putting on the road has done something stupid recently... we all do it, trick is not to have 2 drivers being stupid in the same space at the same time.
So when you see someone being an arse, concentrate on not being the second idiot that then causes or becomes involved in an accident. |

I know and it won't be my car it'll be my big hard van.
If someone is driving that close to me doing 70 and I brake and he hits me, or as in the case of the leary twat in the R8 the other week, he loses control and fishtails all over the motorway, thats his fault. I'd claim off their insurance.
There's a reason we have advisable stopping distances.

I tend to spray windscreen wash at them, they tend to back off.
Funniest thing I did see years ago, coming back from a paintball tournament, a car was inches from a mates bumper on the M6. He got the guys in the back to scare them by hanging out of the window with a paintball gun pointed at the driver behind, at the time it was hilarious seeing the car screech to a halt. Looking back I know it is reckless but 20 year old boys will do stupid things. |

What if he fishtails collides with a car in the next lane, causes that to jump the barrier and causes a multi car pile up with a large number of deaths.
Is it still OK and not your responsibility?

"If someone is driving that close to me doing 70 and I brake and he hits me, or as in the case of the leary twat in the R8 the other week, he loses control and fishtails all over the motorway, thats his fault. I'd claim off their insurance.
There's a reason we have advisable stopping distances.
I don’t have to take responsibility for someone else's poor driving.
What if he fishtails collides with a car in the next lane, causes that to jump the barrier and causes a multi car pile up with a large number of deaths.
Is it still OK and not your responsibility?
Being righteous is not really the same as being right."
No it's not ok and yes it's not my responsibility. Its his, simple as that. That doesn't mean I wouldn't regret or feel remorse for my actions.
Its simple.
A good driver wouldn't be there in the first place.
A poor but at least attentive driver would deal with the situation.
Anyone else shouldn't be on the road. |

It would be up to you to prove it to the police, if the road is clear in front of you and hit the brakes intentionally causing an accident it is your fault.
Let me know when the court date is. |

It is the drivers responsibility to ensure there is enough distance between them and the car in front to safely come to a stop in an emergency situation
Therefore it is always your fault if you drive into the back of the car in front "standard hit in the rear" there is no excuse you should have been able to stop,

"Stop watching and worrying about what's going on behind you and concentrate on what's in front of you.
What sort of Driving instructor taught you that, sack him/her.
You start driving differently because of what is going on behind you and you are not concentrating or driving according to what is going on in front of you.
That's common sense
If you're not aware of what's behind you how on earth can you drive apropropriatley for what's in front of you?
If you don't know someone is right on your ass how will you know to make sure to keep a longer than normal distance in front so you can take longer to break to avoid getting rear ended.
Or if you're about to turn right into a side road without knowing what's behind you how do you know if you're about to get over taken and get wiped out in he middle of your turn?
What somebody is doing behind you is not your responsibility.
Adjusting your distance to prevent the car behind going in to you as you need longer to brake! Don't be ridiculous!
Mirror Signal Manouver when turning right! Again if somebody is right on your arse - that's their responsibility.
You're right it's not my responsibility but a rear end, or getting taken out by an overtaker when taking a right is most likely going to end up with me losing limbs, my life or at the very least a year of my life wasted with physio and rehabilitation.
See I have grown quite fond of my limbs and the old "but legally I was right!!!" Isn't quite going to keep them attached as they're getting smashed by a ton of steel.
Oh and as for the bit about adjusting the distance to the car in front that's actually the highway codes advice.
Oh you must be right then.
But you might also want to look at the Highway Code part 126.
Mate look you're happy to leave your safety to the person behind you fine you and your big steel cage will probably be fine bar some whiplash.
On a motorbike I'll probably die if I trust the people around me.
I've already got a few quite big reminders of what "sorry I didn't see you mate" results in so fuck risking someone wiping me out because "it's not my responsibility "
In simple terms there is nothing you should be doing in your vehicle to attempt to alter the driving style of the driver behind you.
Which at no point have I ever said you should.
I said I alter MY driving style if someone behind me is doing something that makes things dangerous to me.
Are you a mind reader?
.why do I need to be a mind reader to go "hmmm car right on my ass better open up a bit more of a gap in front of me"?
Wow you are a mind reader !
Must be brilliant knowing what every other driver is going to do - in front and behind."
Sorry how is using your mirror mind reading. |

There are lots of cases where people have diliberatley slammed on to cause a rear end for insurance scams etc that have been fucked when there's dash cam footage etc.
Dangerous driving covers intentionally doing something you know is dangerous. |

But you stated you theoretically braked intentionally because he was annoying you. i.e. through road rage not good driving practice. Very hard to prove I agree, especially as you have probably driven off into the distance with nobody checking your number plate, but come on morally you just theoretically killed several people in the opposite lane who were not annoying you... don't you feel a little guilty  Oh and if he had a dash cam... expect a knock on the door, your driving is still legally considered reckless in that situation. |

Is that why several people have been taken to court for intentionally hitting brakes and causing the vehicle behind to hit them, then make an insurance claim against the driver who went into the back of them.
What was that about law.
If there is a valid reason for you to hit the brakes as to stop hitting the vehicle in front of you, and you get hit behind then yes it is the guy behinds faults. Brake check someone and cause an accident then you are at fault. |

Do i feel guilty for hypothetically killing an idiot?? No sorry.
Look mate, I'm not here to advise people to do anything or be the next fucking messiah.
I have hard enough trouble protecting myself and my loved ones to care about wankers who are intentionally endangering my life by being greedy.
Or are you saying its ok to be 20ft from my arse at 70mph? |

But the theoretical fatalities were in the opposite lane, the tailgating idiot survived, as did the dangerous driver who had a moment of road rage, slamming on his brakes rather than getting out of the way.
I am not a perfect driver, they do not exist, as I said earlier everyone does something stupid every now and then on the road, and mostly get away with it but your theoretical action to his stupidity is to intentionally attempt to cause an accident... are you sure that is the right response? or could you take a deep breath and not make things worse |

I'm not arguing about it fella. I am happy to take the consequences of ANYTHING I do in life. I do what i like, if someone wants to stop me that's up to them.
I'm not a fucking puppet in some sick cunts game.
I've given my opinion on this topic. If you or anyone else dosen't like it, report me for being an "unacceptable human"
No doubt they'll uphold your complaint. Once again for the hard of hearing I COULDN'T GIVE A FUCK  |

First question they will ask:
"What was the distance between the front of your car and the rear jumper of the car in front"

This why we have so many incidents on our roads, due to people with this type of attitude.
Maybe we should have a psychological evaluation before taking a test to remove the I don't give a fuck drivers from our roads, that should improve road safety greatly and in a short space of time. |

And i think you're reading a bit too much into this.
I didn't say i don't give a fuck about other drivers.
I've never caused an accident in 25 years of driving. So before you have me dragged away by the men in white coats, maybe accept that other people are capable of making informed decisions and assessing risk.
Oh and if you trawl through the mental health thread you'll see i've already been assessed in that matter and you're quite safe. |

You need to be aware of the whole area around your car, any good driver knows that.
Presumably so you miss hitting the hedgehogs and other wildlife"
