Tailgated at the 40 speed limit

You werent there at the time and dont know the roads or conditions etc.. but this was late at night, on an empty straight road with good visibility. It was a bit of harmless fun

Its not like i was forcing him into oncomming trucks or anything. We were the only 2 cars on the road at the time.

If Fox doesn't have it in one of his spreadsheets, it isn't sanctioned fun and therefore is barred.
 
On the bike, the temptation is to change down a few and pull a wheelie away, but I always seem to fall off when I'm showing off! (When nobody can see me, I'm a wheelie god, honest!)

In the car, with the kids, I just ignore the 'gater and drive how I want to. If they want to risk it, I wanted a nice shiny new rear bumper anyway.

Last time I had this happen in the Soarer (some BMW thing stuck to my @rse), the scrote inside was all "hand signals", shouting and general bravado, and it looked like it was his girlfriend in the pax seat.

As we were approaching a roundabout with a backed up queue, I slowed gently, opened the door (checking the mirror first) got out and approached to have a friendly chat. I've never seen someone reverse, U-turn and leg it back the way we came so quickly. I'm not a small bloke but it wasn't like I was intending to hit him or anything! Highly amusing, and I bet he got lots of sex that evening for being so brave.

*Disclaimer- yes I am aware I was committing an offence by getting out of a running car on a public road, no need for the OCUK nanny massive to reproach me thanks!

last time i got tailgated, i slowed right down to about 20, then put the car in 1st, and waited for him to pull out to overtake. At which point i promptly put my foot down and left him for dead.

He didnt try again.

I dont blame him tbh, I bet he slowed right down when he realised you were torque steering into him!
