Brake check. or a fog lamp/ bright ass light.. on your rear pointed to the direction of the driver [mainly the windshield]
I break for animals, getting rear ended because you slammed on your breaks for a "animal" is much more lagit then because you wanted to test your breaks.
I find it humorous to just slow down when someone is tailgating me. For example, I am doing 60 in a 55. Someone is tailgating me. I slow down to 45. Most people understand with this method that they are not going to get there faster by riding my ass, so they back off and I speed back up. If they don't understand, I "think" I see a deer in the road, so I slam on my brakes.

That's funny - I do the same thing only I just let off the gas and let gravity slow me down. The other day I was in the middle of 3 lanes on the freeway @75MPH [ours are 70mph BTW] and this minivan starts tailgaiting me even though both lanes on either side are totally open. I actually got down to 45MPH and had to put on the gas again because minimum speed is 40MPH and I really don't want that ticket. LOL.
He still stayed behind me until I got off and he didn't even look mad or anything. WTF?

I don't let gravity slow me down, I just shift into 3rd or something and slow down like that. No brakes.

my friend has the best way of gettin ppl to stop tail gating him on the highway. He has a S13 with a built RB25 in it. If some one is tailgating him on the highway he just punches it, gets about 3 car lengths inbetween him and the other car...opens his sunroof, and throws a ball bearing out his roof. It sucks cuz you have time to see it b4 it hits your windsheild, but not enough time to move out of the way. He said no one ever tailgates him now..and if he doesnt have any balls, he just gives her and can usually get some space pretty quickly.
wtf?..it posted twice some how...weird..nvm

To me, the whole point is to NOT speed up, simply because that is what they want me to do.

yeah your friend is a major ass. tell him to grow up.
"Drive Well......Drift Better"
obviously you guys have never driven in a majour city in canada on a highway. Toronto, Montreal, Quebec city...all of thouse highways, you gotta b a stupid agressive driver and if you think thats bad, you havent seen any thing. My friend was driving north of montreal, doing 140km/h gettin pushed in the slow lane *he was going slowest of all the lanes too*, some guy passed him and started shootin his car with a paintball gun. My buddy mainly does it because people in the big cities here are complete duchebags. When i headed him on the weekend, the slowest i could/did go was 125km/h. I slowed down to 115 and almost got hit.
i live in DC try a different excuse.....that was weaker then my 3 year old sister

you and all of your friends are still idiotas.

I do the same thing, except i usually don't under the speed limit
I had a cop tailgate me once when i was on a road where the speed limit was 30mph. So i just chilled at 30 until i had to turn off that road, my guess is he was trying to get me to go faster so he could give me a speeding ticket..haha, nice try officer

try Los Angeles traffic
i get tailed usually doing ~80 in a 65...
and since i DON'T want to piss people off, i generally punch it till i' get past the cars i want to get past in the right lane, then hop over and let captain tard pass...

My wifes lady friend did somethin funny to a tailtgater.. d00d in a jag was tailgating her, came to a red light and she let down her tailgate (forgot what kinda truck she had).. anyways tailgate busted off jag hood ornament, she got out and picked up the jag and drove off.. there was more to the story like the guy yellin at her and stuff but at least i remembered the good part

here's an idea of how to get rid of tailgaters... since the rear washer fluid nozzle is useless anyway, get a separate reservoir, fill it with iced tea or something, get a more powerful pump so it'll shoot back 5 feet, and hook that up. someone's tailgating you... then BAM!! they get a shot of whatever you choose all over their windshield! lol
i live in NASCAR country, so idiots around here think tailgaiting is fun like were at lowes motor speedway or something...

HAHAHAHHAHAHA i went down there once and everyone was "drafting" it was one of the dumbest things, since i got my clear highs on the car, at night when someone is tailgating i let em pass and just click on them high beams and sit a good distance behind them, gettin in the side mirrors too, if its on the highway they slow down and let me by & continue as normal (my windows are tinted too so they never try the highbeam back)
