How do you feel about tailgaters?

Is it ever justified?

I can't resist the temptation to slow down.

@deadgerbil I want to sell stuff alligator tails at a place called Tailgators.
Makes me want to slow to a crawl just to piss them off
Carazaa · F
It is very dangerous, and so common!
ScarletWitch · 26-30, F
How the hell do u only have one post!? 🤣
beckyromero · 36-40, F
Never justified.
no. we need THREE seconds of space between each car.
not two,, THREE
tailgating is a hostile act or just a stupid one
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@SatyrService I put one car distance between me and the car behind or ahead.
@Graylight oh i BEEN to Florida! many times, and near the cites it is a racetrack for sure
out in the real boondocks,, just be patient and tuck in behind that famer and his tractor
there is no other state like it!~ the worst parts of me love Florida.,. name another state where a term like Florida Man. even exists.
I do love to eat me some nice alligator🐊,, why arrant you guys eating those invasive iguanas🦎
the make great tacos~
Graylight · 51-55, F
@SatyrService For as frustrating as it is to live in the last frontier of america, it's also really interesting and unique.

My chant every evening with the national news is "please don't be Florida, please don't be Florida, please don't-- ah, it's Florida. "

@deadgerbil Are you trying to compare me to Sylvia Plath or is this a Jew joke ?
deadgerbil · 22-25

Just looked her up, holy crap
Powderflask · 31-35, M
Couldn’t care less. You rear ended my truck your liable for the damage 👌they can honk all they like.
IceCrystal · 26-30, F
No. Not at all. I don't drive, but people I've been with like to slow down and piss them off.
deadteddy · 26-30, F
Was this your first question ever on here?
deadgerbil · 22-25
@deadteddy quite possibly
They can smack me sometimes. I always can use the MONEY!😅
Bubbles · 36-40, F
I love that this is your only story. I hate them lol
deadgerbil · 22-25
@Bubbles I'm considering making more with the implementation of the new private stories lol
is this ur first subby post?
deadgerbil · 22-25
@faithfulhusband I think so
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
I got many SW,Groupies
deadgerbil · 22-25
@JohnOinger quite the following. Teach me your ways

@deadgerbil I'm like an SW Rock Star

I hope we don't meet by accident.

i pull over, let them pass, and tailgate them.
TurtlePink · 22-25, F
I see nothing wrong with tailgating.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
I don't mind it.
Justified, no. In theory, you’re supposed to allow enough room so that if [b]they[/b] have to stop suddenly, you won’t hit them. But especially on the freeway, that becomes problematic.
jesus can justify anything,
just trust the process
Zonuss · 41-45, M
They are so annoying. Im like just go around please. 😌
Graylight · 51-55, F
Well, if it's game day and all...

No, there's never a justification for tailgaters. There is, however, a certain comfort and driving around a 15 year old car. I have no qualms about hitting my braek for that imaginary animal that just darted out in front of me. Hope the guy behind me has good insurance.
deadgerbil · 22-25
@Graylight Yeah, that's the benefits of driving around in an older car that you aren't afraid of damaging.
alan20 · M
@Graylight I'm often tempted to do that, especially as it could be a real animal or child.
Gr8Guy1979 · 41-45, M
On my License plate it says do you FOLLOW JESUS THIS CLOSELY
Gr8Guy1979 · 41-45, M
@Carazaa

Carazaa · F
@Gr8Guy1979 I hope not 😏
Gr8Guy1979 · 41-45, M

Disintegrate them with a high power laser
deadgerbil · 22-25
@NCCindy lol, I read a story where this guy was being tailgated at night, so he took out his handheld spotlight and shined it out the window... the tailgater dropped back multiple car lengths for fear of being blinded XD
NCCindy · 36-40, F
@deadgerbil I still think disintegrating the guy would be more fun.
Allelse · 36-40, M
Best thing to do is slam on the breaks and if you kill em, even better.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Allelse And if other people are involved in a pile up and somebody gets hurt, well that's on them, right? Until you're the fourth car in line.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@Graylight Yeah but if I'm in front then it's all for the best.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Allelse Hmm. Betting you're a conservative.
ginnyfromtheblock · 26-30, F
buddy why is this your ONLY POST
ginnyfromtheblock · 26-30, F
@deadgerbil they will get at least one view i love documentaries 😌
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@deadgerbil What would the documentary be about?
deadgerbil · 22-25
@SimplyTracie history stuff, war stuff, maybe crash course videos too. A post would feature a video like this one about a third atomic bomb attack on japan

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I34pxr23Nhw]
As a truck driver I have learned how to deal with them. I just slow way down, until they are annoyed enough to pass me and get the hell out of my life.
ahiyaa · M
@PrivateHell what retard would tailgate a truck
@ahiyaa though. Do all the time. Some idiots think it improves gas mileage
ahiyaa · M
@PrivateHell crazy lol. they need to watch joyride

@Mikaloviche Girls love massive knobs. Big knobs create more friction.

Time to slow down to 20 😜
deadgerbil · 22-25
@metaldog That probably makes them even madder lol
@deadgerbil I'm pretty sure it does!! ☺
Carver · 31-35, F
I feel like they must want to buy me a new car. 😠
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
Make the best of it if you’re in traffic. Have fun.

Tail gating is dangerous plus you never know if the person you're tailgating is psycho and will pull out a gun. If someone is going too slow or hogging the over taking lane then i just try and relax... maybe text or something... j/k
deadgerbil · 22-25
@SW-User exactly, driving too close leaves no time to react and I find it anxiety inducing.

Because of the gun issue in this country, I try to 'steer' clear of confrontations and rarely ever honk at people.
SW-User
@deadgerbil I don't blame you, i even feel the same way where i live
If they’re in that much of a big rush, find a safe space to pull over, let stupid go and continue on your way. It involves zero effort on your part, keeps you safe and allows the dumb ass to speed up more hopefully into a speed trap.
Carazaa · F
They are careless, and don't realize that if the car in front needs to stop abruptly for any reason they will crash. We need to be able to count 2 seconds slowly to stop.
I love tailgating parties. Ever been to a tailgater party at a football game? Great fall time activity. We need more tailgating!!
Why does this post have so many comments?
@deadgerbil a real sub would have sped up
deadgerbil · 22-25
@DarlingSelah I'm not a sub on the road lol

he changed lanes right after I did it and we arrived at the same red light. He looked at me and I stared back.
@deadgerbil omfg. Road Dom.
NoYou · 26-30, M
Well I feel like if I ever really need money or an excuse badly I can rely on their stupidity to bail me out.
deadgerbil · 22-25
@NoYou lol, time for a brake check!
Gradenine · 31-35, M
sometimes i just want to hit the breaks like Terminator ,but that probably wouldnt be a good idea.
I sometimes feel bad for them but that doesnt stop me from goin slower.
deadgerbil · 22-25
@lulaluboo lol, going slower. Good way to piss them off! XD
I will admit to tailgating slow bitches, why is the high/low lane such a difficult concept to grasp?
maryannspring · 26-30, F
No, people who tailgate me on the road infuriate me to no end. I try not to do not myself.
deadgerbil · 22-25
@maryannspring It sucks because you don't know what they are going to do. Are they just not paying attention? Are they raging behind the wheel and may take it out on you? You don't know lol people drive like clowns.
Great when they barbecue brisket or fajitas at the game. Not so great when they follow too close.
It's one of my biggest pet peeves. Not using blinkers is another one. No, I don't see that it's ever justified.
