    If you were a sociopath you would probably engage the jake, thus no brake lights that would alert said tailgater that you were slowing down, not that I would do such a thing or condone this type of behavior.

    Had a driver tell me he does just that engage jakes and watch em swerve. And if they go right he speeds up.
    Old man said hes been out here almost 30 years and only works on warm days.

    Yes but you got theses super truckers who thinks it's cool to tail, when in fct there is plenty of wide open space that they could pass.
