Best way to deal with them rig a push button to turn work your break lights. ome one gets on your rear like that press the button. Break test with out the danger of being hit
Friend did that to some bozo on the highway tailgating in the normal trafic lane instead of passing no other cars for miles so he hits the button at 55 mph next thing you hear is screeeeeeeeeeeeeeechhhhhhhh and see the guy come to a dead stop. after that the guy stayed way way back like a full mile behind us.
This was on i76 about omg 12 years ago maybe 13. We never could figure out what the guy was doing but we were getting just a little worried about what he might be doing. Our direction was empty most every one was going to work so were all heading in the other direction.
We kind of thought maybe the guy was going to wait till he had a chance and run us off the road or something. Esp when we heard on the news some one was car jacked on a exit ramp about 4 hours later in the day. Back then you didnt hear alot about car jackings 1 or 2 a year.
You realy just never know about people.
