Tail gating a new sport!
I've invented a new sport. What you do is to lob a half brick straight upwards through your open sun roof and watch in your rear view mirror as
the tw*t who is sitting inches from your rear bumper gets his windscreen smashed!
You get more points if he swerves off the road and seriously injures himself!
Word of warning though, don't try this if there are other innocent law abiding motorists in the immediate vicinity!
Cheers
Jon

I find that going really slow when there are cars coming the opposite way and then speeding up when the road is clear really hacks them off big time.
Trouble is your always looking in your rear veiw to make sure they are concentrating on not hitting you. Chucking Favs

Bricks are a bit "overkill" surely ? 
I keep a packet of extra strong mints in the car specifically to flick up through the sunroof. On the very few occasions that's not been enough
to get 'em to drop back, a penny flung through the sunroof has worked
If you flick it with your thumb, as if you're tossing a coin, no-one can tell it's you

Happy memories.
Years ago I was happily driving along a few mph above the speed limit, when this complete tw*t comes up on my bumper and starts flashing his
lights.
Stood on the brakes hard (I'm sure a child/cat/dog had just run out in front of me). He 'just' managed to brake in time to avoid
hitting me.
Last I saw in my rear view mirror was him stopped by the side shaking with his gf/wife giving him the ear bashing of his life. Served the idiot
right, hopefully it cured him!

I find that a good long spray of the windscreen washers is quite effective...

When I had my MGF it had twin fog lamps so I just used the press the button and they thought I'd hit the brakes and suddenly dropped back
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

Oh, I've also spat chewing gum and various other things upwards to give them a nice addition to their windscreens

Tailgaters are annoying at the best of times, but they seemed to come out in force just as it got nice and icy around here!!
I did laugh when the tit that was tailgating me and evidently didnt know the lane that leads to my house cruised into the hedge!!! I had my Lucas
20/20 rally lights on on the XR4x4 as I came up to a particularly icy bend, (which I know VERY well) then dipped em and hooked my inside wheels into
the ruts on the inside of the bend without braking and watched in my rear view mirror as he (or she, it was dark!) cruised straight on into the
hedge!!!!

Tailgaters v.annoying! Especially when your car is a 1124cc and no matter how hard you drive you can't get rid of them,as in my case!
I recently drove from Devon to W.sussex and had no problem with tailgaters during the whole journey untill i re-entered Devon and a 30mph limit and
instantly someone was stuck to my back bumper!!!!
Anyone else know of any particularly bad counties for tailgating?

The ones that really pee me off are the ones who sit on my tail when I'm doing (ahem) about 40 in a 30 zone - not exactly dawdling - then stay
at 40 when I zoom off in a 60mph zone. In other words, they sat tight on my tail 'cos they were too lazy to move back a few yards, not because
they were in a hurry and wanted me to go faster.

Worst places I've ever seen were German autobahns - drivers are not allowed to flash or otherwise harass the driver in front, so they sit 25mm
off their back bumper until they move over.
At 100+mph.
I once saw a row of 3 or 4 big Mercedes running this close to each other in the outside lane, doing well over 100mph - they might as well have been
tied together.
Eek!

In the build-it-yourself spirit, someone should make a tailgater deterrant device that's mounted to the car.
Like a washer fluid pump that's connected to the main resevoir but shoots directly out the back of the car.
If that doesn't work, maybe a ping pong ball launcher is in order.

Once lost the rear washer jet from my Citroen , it just pumped a large jet of water backwards . perhaps should have filled reservoir with old brake
fluid.?
