All that California junk is why I don't want to even visit the state. Sure glad I live in Texas!

Initially it doesnt bother me to bad to be tailgated for a little while til there is room or an opening for them to pass. I've drove slow vehicles before too, I undertand not having the power that they need to get around me from a normal distance and needing to shorten passing time up.

But if they pass up reasonable chances to pass... Then my actions depend on alot of things.

First and formost: Are my kids with me?
If yes then I take a very conservative approach ussually. Even as extreme as pulling over, letting them by and then continue on my way. But to get my point across especially on a two lane highway then I will slow down sloooooowly and wait til I'm at about 5mph before I pull off the road.

If my kids arent with me then it depends up on what veicle I am in, and may depend on what type of vehicle is tailgating me. As well as what mood I'm in.
In my F150 or Trans-Am I ussually smoke em. (don't want to hurt them) All they see is tail lights and tail pipes!

In my cherokee it couldn't even out run a chevette if it wanted to. But there was many methds it had. One the rear window washer was broke so it sprayed straight back. Two you couldn't hurt it, so I would slow waaaay down and even let them bump me if they want, then flip them off it didn't bother me any. It sat high enough that truck bumpers matched, and cars would go under it.

Wifes exploder with out kids... Total it for all I care. We want something newer anyway.
