(edit title) What do you do... ...when someone is driving too close behind Options

We have that here too...if it's a BIG truck...get out of the way...he has a schedule...you don't!. Works for me...still here!

Good advice.

Pull into the passing lane and jump the line of traffic. Personally on really long drives(5-10hrs) I always liked to tuck in behind a long haul truck especially in bad weather.

Oh, so you're the annoying prick who makes the overtaking length even longer. I'll remember to give you a toot and a wave.

That is why there is a traveling lane and there is a passing lane.

I loved it in Vermont on single lane sections you are allowed to pass across the double yellow line.

Using a pin you can adjust and redirect your windscreen washer nozzles to spray over your auto and on to the one behind.

Today a truck driver presumably felt offended that I overtook him on the part of the street where two lanes merge in one. I was in the left one that was merging into the right one. So as a "punishment" he drove for next km as close as possible to my car. I would have sped up, but there were other cars in front. He drove so close that I couldn't even see the licence plate on his truck. ... (hide full quote)

Which road had right of way? usually if there are no markings the "give way to the right" rule applies - so perhaps he was annoyed that you cut him up. Usually if is considered poor driving to deliberately undertake and cause people to slam on brakes just to get a few metres ahead as it is often the cause of accidents


Otherwise I often find an urgent need to wash the windscreen works quite well - those pesky flies - most people don't want to be sprayed with the muddy water from your windscreen especialliy if you buy an evil smelling brand

I sit right on the limit and ignore them, pisses them right off. If I get bumped it's their fault (hasn't happened yet).
