Do You Tailgate?

If you do see someone tailgating its not that hard to at least get the tlr number and call in on them. Im not talking about if someone cuts in front of someone and they happen to be close for a short period, but the true bozo's that think they can intimidate someone out of their way by hanging ten feet off their bumper doing 55-60

 

Thats the same reason I wrote my post above, how could you not have gotten it?? I made it quite clear in almost every aspect of my first post.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I only had a couple seconds to think about it, the top of overpass leveled off and there is car center of lane dead. I did everything I could to shake this tailgaiter, got in the slow truck lane and dropped a gear almost no traffic so 2 clear lanes to pass me, the hammer lane the whole hour two hours had almost no traffic no reason for him to shadow maby 10 feet off my trailer bumper. I had a lot of bad things on my mind, personal probs at home, probs with the company and finantial issues. You could say I was Peezed at the world and at that one moment didnt care. I am not perfect. I try to do the right thing most of the time but I do have my moments, I have always had an anger problem, took anger managment classes couple times when I was younger and its an issue I have always battled with and fought to controll. I do have my moments. If you are perfect and never have a moment, I sincerely envie you bud.

I couldnt have stopped if I wanted to. It was an overpass, with a jacknifed rig behind me that I caused, I aint gona stop my rig right there or anywhere close to that less the blue and whites start flashing. A guy who was tailgaiting me got in a reck (probley, not for sure) becouse he was tailgaiting me. If I had 2 speak to a cop about it, one or two seconds schmeconds. I jumped over in the hammer lane as soon as I saw it and saw the hammer lane clear. My tailgator is 100% at fault.

Do not tailgate another big rig ever!

 

when someone is tail gating me even if im in my car driving down a regular road i usually slow way down just to either get them to pass me or to piss them off. either way i win because i dont have to worry about a bad wreck. when im in the work truck i do the same thing, if someone is up my ##### for any reason, slow down time!! like i said its a win win, i get to piss them off even more so maybe they get the hint, and if i have an emergency up ahead i know i can slow down with out getting rear ended.

 

When someone is tailgating me in the truck, my 1st option is the CB:

"Hey (insert random truck company name) this is (my company name). You get any closer to my rear end and you'd better be buying me dinner and a show! Left lane is Clear!"

Amazing how well it works......

 

That wouldn't work for me. I'd get the response, "OOOOoohh-KAAAAAaaaaaaayyy!!!" And they'd crowd in even closer.

So I usually just gradually slow down until they realize they're only going 50mph.
