Tailgating

Post by mothers of invention » Tue Mar 18, 2008 1:32 pm

Has anyone ever driven in Bulgaria?? Tailgating is a national sport and when the person behind you is in a big, black mercedes with tinted windows with a sticker saying I heart mafia then you do best to smile sweetly and let them pass!

I thought it was only me that used the "hold" button on the approach to a roundabout to give the tailgater something to think about! :lol:

It works particularly well if you leave the braking as late as possible,that way, you have already done some sneaky deccelerating (no brakelights)then, just as they realize they are catching you quickly, slam on the brakes! :lol:

If they hit you it's there fault, end of story. You can slam on the brakes for no reason whatsoever,if the car behind you runs into you as a result, its still 100% their fault....It's their perogative to maintain a safe distance between themselves and the car in front.

It's when you do that & then leave them in a cloud of chip fat as you leave them standing that's most fun :twisted: Not that I'd do such a thing :roll: Why can't I get the whistle smilie to work? :evil:
