    i had a little old lady on my tail the other day. she was on her cell phone and had a cup of coffee in her hand. i was going 5 over, she was right on me, like i couldn’t see her front grill and i was in an s10 with the gate down….

    so i break tapped her and she slammed on the breaks and started squealing and fish tailing, spilt the coffee and dropped her phone. we get to a stop light and she pulls up next to me screaming at me saying i was going 5 miles under. i point up to the sign across the street and said, “mam, its been that speed since 3 lights ago. i was going 5 over. enjoy your day” rolled up window and i don’t recall her saying much of anything else.

    Wanna have some fun? Wait for the little imports to pass you when you are doing the speed limit pulling the boat. Kick the diesel down till she blows black smoke. You can run from here to Canada and those guys won’t get past you. Really, really ticks them off.

    Boy you sound like a nice guy…geez I really hope you are kidding. The diesel must make you feel tough, huh??

    I’m shocked by the number of you who are proud of playing games with people on the road.

    James, what you did was rude and dangerous. And then you’re proud of it?

    I only play games with people who have WRS employee bumper stickers.

    Ex-queeze me? Either you didn’t read my post or words have different meanings to you.

    I didn’t do ANYTHING rude or dangerous. I maintained a consistent speed and did not allow the other driver’s action to influence my driving in any way. What would you have had me do, friend? Speed up? Pull over to allow the tailgater to pass so he can drive even faster in a residential area?

    Wow. Some people.

    Wow, I thought that one of the replies was from another James, I had no idea he was addressing you.

    You’re not alone. I went back and re-read all the posts before replying to see if there was another “james” in on this thread. Nope. Just me.

    PTC is probably a little ornery because the shop just called and said his Jaguar wasn’t quite ready.

    You’re right! I did misunderstand your post. Original understanding was that you changed course very slightly in order to lure tailgater into the pothole.

    That is NOT what you said. I should have read at least a 2nd time.

    Please accept my apology.

    Another example of a briliant tailgater.
