I just slow down when someone is tailing me, especially with there brights on. I' readjust my mirrors and my seating a little and just ignore them. Living with my hubby, I have gotten really good at ignoring. I'll give them a salute when they go by. Drivers around here don't understand what a double yellow line means,Woman are like guns, if you don't treat us right, we'll blow up in your face!

Quoth greensinestro View PostThank you for your support. And if you guessed it's on US 441 around Glades Road, you would be correct.
No problem. And yes...441 was one of my guesses although there are about 6 roads that you can do 45 on. I live on the ONLY one where you can do 50.

Quoth greensinestro View PostInnocent, to me, is the one who was minding their own business and doing the posted speed limit. Sure, I stooped to her level by doing it back, so fine, I can be classified as an asshole, too. If you dealt with these kind of people on an every day basis as I do, you would sooner or later decide it's time to stop being polite and courteous, and it's time to give them a dose of their own medicine. As I stated, after it was done to her, she couldn't get away from me fast enough. The message was sent.

When someone tailgates me and flashes the bright filaments of the lights on the front of their car, I flash the bright filaments of the lights on the back of my car - i.e. tap the brakes (just enough to trip the lights). If they're persistent, I might (briefly) hit the pedal hard to give them (in their shiny new money-mobile) a close view of the back end of my beater.
What I'd like to get is a scrolling LED display for my rear window, hooked into my speedometer and some sort (sonar, radar, laser, sylph with a measuring tape, etc.) of rangefinder. Then, if someone started tailgating, I'd hit a button to scroll a message "Minimum safe following distance at current speed x metres. Maximum safe speed at current following distance y km/h. You decide."Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

Quoth Broomjockey View PostThat'd be a really cool set up, though difficult to set up now that I put a lot of thought into it. You'd need some sort of program to auto-calculate the distances and speeds. As I'm not a programmer, it's well beyond my capabilities to figure out what you'd need. An LED display in the back window'd be useful though. You can even scroll a thank you for people who let you in to traffic.
You'd need a GPS (speed) unit, one of those tapeless measuring devices (available from B&Q) (for distance) and a processer to put it all together, its actually quite difficult because the minimum distance between two cars is two seconds rather than a set distance...
(try saying the following at normal pace
"only a fool breaks tha two second rule"
Start when the car in front passes a immovible object, if you get to said object before you've finished you're too close...)
