Frog, how true. I hate tailgaters. I would like to slam on the brakes, but then I would be soon staring at a metal gun barrel...

Since this is so hot in the engines section https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/001206.html I just thought I would bring this back to the top.

Cool

Well, I think you guys would know my technique, it's just like Darin said. Mr. Daylighter, 8 Kc's will move em, I guarantee you that. Well, you ride em real close for awhile, and if that doesn't work, ya back off 25' and show em daylight. Oh well, they know better than to be in that lane, that really pisses me off. But usally they move, bet it's quite a site to see me really close in your rearview, ok with that and 2 giant beams

looks like that would definitely get the point across mudder.

recently took a trip to fla. and i think i can say that the worst people between wi and fla for squatting are right here in my own state. (wi) they won't move for s%$t. have the attitude of oh well if he hits me it's his fault. i've given it serious consideration a time or 2.
if you do go around on the right then they speed up so you can't get back in the left lane. i have surprised a few by using the shoulder though.

A flash to pass- once, twice, and a third time (and a blast from the horn if they are blind), before I buzz them.

Maybe I should get a front plate that says "CRASH" in reverse. After all, I did have to earn my name...lol

P.S. One that I remember was on a truck as big as MUDDERS that had a front plate that said MOVE! (in reverse). He came up on me doing about 50mph faster than me. Needless to say, I knew he would not stop. I moved. I'm not STUPID! He``, even the stupid ones moved.

All you have to do is wait for them to hang up, then call them and ask them to move over.

This is, provided they don't have call-waiting.

Exclamation

I don't do anything anymore. I just wait for an opening and I take it. First, I have about a $30,000 truck, and it's not worth playing chicken with some idiot driving a ****box. Second, people who are that inconsiderate have most likely been that way all their lives, and some guy or gal in a truck on a highway won't change them. Third, there are too many head cases out there willing to get into a shooting match over something like right of way or a parking space or a $5 bill. No thanks.

They can have their little victory. In the long run, they'll lose the war.

well it really does show you people dont drive detroit streets, if you did half of the things i am reading you would definately be pickin lead out of your ***(if not dead)believe me you have to be really carefull who you do that to on detroit streets(where the weak are killed and beaten)
run up behind them, get beside them(give them finger), get in front of them stomp on brakes just as they get too close stomp on throttle and dont look back(especially if you hear boom-boom-boom).........
