I'm with the furry on this one. Fuck tailgaters.
I'll personally just slow down until they either get the message and back off, or get annoyed enough to pass. Or if I see a piece of debris ahead, maintain speed until the VERY last second, then swerve to avoid it - they won't have time to react, and will run it over. I got some asshole to run full speed into a chunk of some other car's bumper doing that, and I gotta say it was the best high I've ever had!
*above does not apply to slow drivers camping in the fast lane. If that's you, you're the asshole.
Ah yes, combating road rage with road rage. As is tradition
To be clear, I don't ever break check, as that's dangerous as fuck - I'll just drop a mph every few seconds until they fuck off. Idk if I'd call that rage... my safety is compromised by them riding that close to me, so finding ways to get them off is a defensive move. I also don't want to be the one to change lanes, since collisions tend to happen during transitions, so that'd just be switching from one unsafe situation to another. If I tactically annoy the other driver until they move, then it ends the risk to me without increasing the odds of hitting someone or something else... and since they're already putting my safety at risk, I don't really give a damn about theirs.
As for the debris situation, yeah I got nothing - that was rage, lol. But damn did it feel good! Thankfully there's not enough shit on the road to make that a go-to option, but I'll definitely scope the road out ahead juuust to be sure before starting the slow-down thing. Cuz, and I can't overstate this: fuck tailgaters.
I’ve had another driver brandish a gun at me for doing that. Be safe out there! Making a point isn’t worth your life.
People be crazy.
Unless you live in a country with gun control. Then you can be slightly more passive aggressive as long as you're not creating an unsafe driving scenario.
Even with some gun control, you never know if the asshole is a cop on break. Fuckers love to carry and threaten others with weapons and will shoot to prove their point (at least in Brazil)
Luckily not all cops in other countries start working after a 2 week course. In Finland, for example, it's a 3 year school, comparable to a bachelor's degree.
Very different story in countries like Germany tho
