There isnt a legeit reason to be speeding unless some sort of medical attention is needed. I do the same thing as that other guy sometimes. If 10 over isnt fast enough drop it to 5 under said limit.

Maybe im not as nice as the rest of you lol, brake checks? i lost track of how many times ive slammed on my brakes and forced someone to hit the curb or median, just to avoid hitting me. but at the same time i only do this when they're tailgating me so bad that i cant see an inch of their headlights, we're talking a foot or less between their car and mine, and only if the other lane is open and they're clearly able to go around me they just feel like trying to play the bully.

If they're barely on me i'll either move if possible or do a light brake check.

...and i use quarters on people who are slowing down traffic, driving 15 under the limit because they're on the effing phone. and i keep a tire core remover in my car.

lol and on one occassion someone screwed with me real bad when my friend and i were on our way to the paintball field so i happened to have an ariakon paintball pistol in the car.....needless to say he backed off lmao. good times, good times

That's some pansy ____. My friend has the ultimate "get the ____ off my ___" weapon. 0:16 for absolute decimation of the lungs.

I hate trucks. There are so many of those stupid lifted trucks blowing smoke and cutting everyone off here in Houston. They can't see our cars in the side mirrors, so I have to slam the brakes when they try to lane change right next to me. They think they own the road because their car is bigger.

This thread is great! I have terrible road rage and when some one cuts me off or does something stupid I like to retaliate. I live in western pa...near Pittsburgh. No one uses turn signals, or stops at stop signs(call that the pittsburgh stop), everyone is in the other lane while making a sharp turn, no one likes to go the speed limit...and so on. I swear I get behind the worst drivers. And a big one here is people dont like to put there headlights on untill its really really dark....like you cant see these cars dark. Do they think they are cool? But when someone is tail gating me its usually small easy brake check. If they FAIL to recognize why I did it and continue the brake checks get better. Then you got the A-holes who think its fun and games....untill I give them a REAL brake check. One that spills their coffee and makes them sh*t their pants. Then they get all mad and what not. I usally only brake check when I am already going well over the speed limit...at least 5 or more over. I have had people try following me and everything. I want to start carrying a fake gun...that will change peoples mind!!

where i live i just let them. i would normally do the whole brake check thing, etc. but more than half the driver's here in AZ don't have car insurance. so i don't want to deal with that in the least bit.

QFT...same situation in cali really...I usually just ease off the gas and start to go slower..especially if they have plenty of room on either side of me to go around..I know I should probably move over but I've almost gotten into accidents a few times trying to move over for some who is tailgating cause the _______ switches lanes when I try to..oh yeah and I'm usually signaling..they aren't..
