My friend has an integra and he does the rear washer fluid thing, sometimes he turns it sideways and sprays people just for the hell of it. LOL. I, however, find that at night you can just adjust your side mirrors so their headlights reflect back at them, it takes some practice, but usually gets the job done. This works especially well for me considering my car's so low, and here in Indiana everyone else has a competition to have the biggest truck on earth.

Thats the same thing I do. I also live in Indiana. The mirror thing only works if you are far enough away from them and you have to be toward the right side of their front bumper. It pisses people off. I had a person get out of their car and start pounding on my window before. It does take alot of practice. The best way is to start from the top of the car and go down until you hit them right in the eye with their own headlights. I didn't think anyone did this, I though I was the only one. Nick

I live right outside of South bend, IN. About 10 miles from Tire Rack.

Best thing to do is slow down. They'll see an opening on the right lane and change lanes. Then you accelerate so they can't pass. They'll usually get stuck behind another slower car and just back off.

Dude! Let it roll back and just bearly tap your bumper. Then get out and make a big fuss of them hitting you from behind. I actually got some money from this 'cause I had a *****ked up bumper and the cop said it was their fault!!!

"oh yeah, oh yeah, well, I'll shoot you." ******* tough kids with guns are exactly why this law exists. And why what i did is an act that is legal and protects my safety.

I didn't hit his vehicle. I hit him. Stay in your car, its safer there.

I dont tail gate. If someone is going to slowly infront of me I flash my lights from a normal distance. This has been for years an acceptable way of asking some one to move over. It works, and is peaceful, especialy when you return with the 'thank you' wave.

Tail gaters pissing you off? Move over. End of discussion.
