    Yeah I can, (but never with you, I like you), sometimes I do use the truck that way, especially when I nimrod passes me just to get in my lane and slow down, i sometimes scare my friends because i will be late, very late on the brakes, nite is better with the lights shining through their back window.
    Look, for the vast (and I mean vast), majority of the time, I drive the truck safely and in a courteous manner. We have many morons in Cali who have no brains behind the wheel, it's different in other states where people's worst sin is that they drive right at the speed limit. I'm the nicest guy on the planet until you do something that puts innocent people's lives at risk.

    Some dude was f'n with me when I was 16 driving my 88 Toyota 4x4. I was on the freeway and slammed on the breaks to get his Camaro off my ass. Dude ended up pulling out a gun and chasing me for about 15 minutes before I ran a red light to lose him. Sketchy shit!

    Bottom line, people are dumb and that shit isn’t worth it.

    i do this all the time with the washer fluid but i'll keep it on for a good 30+ seconds..you'll be surprised on how fast they will back off. and by chance they dont back ill let off the gas while again spraying the washer fluid. usually then they'll backoff for good:D

    If I can't see your headlights over my tailgate, you are too fucking close.

    Best part is if the car behind you slams into you, odds are that car will be trashed and all you will need is a new rear bumper.

    This works well at night....slow down and create some space between you and the car in-front. Then speed up slowly and let the tailgater stay on your ass. Drive right up to the car in-front of you, and at the last minute pull into the next lane. Tailgater will proceed up the ass of the other guy you followed, works even better when traffic comes to a stop :)

    PS. When I'm tailgating you, and you are in the fast lane, just get out!!!!!

    ^^2 I call it 'locking someone up' and it's one of my favorites, it has to be done so you don't cut off the car that you are getting in front of.

    Was driving the other day, in the right side lane, when I see an old 5.9 cummnis come up from behind me. It started to pass, I heard the turbo, and next thing I knew I was being smoked out. I didn't mind - I laughed, because his cummins was more of a truck than mine.

    I've had this happen several times, someone in the fast lane doing the speed limit and nobody in the right lane. I come up on them and they won't get over so eventually get in the right lane and speed up so guess what happens? Yep, they gun it....................WTF?

    I think people just have this mentality that they have to be in front no matter how fast they are driving. I do understand wanting to not be boxed in though. This happens on my local interstate all the time. Ride the right lane and get boxed in and do under the speed limit, get in the left lane and you'd better be running 80+. Can't win for losing. So I've learned to try to be patient and just ride the slow lane, helps me just stay relaxed, saves on gas and helps keep me out of road rage.

    My bestfriend was cut off by some guy on the highway. My friend sped up and got around him to piss him off. The guy decided to ride his ass to get sweet revenge. Out of nowhere my friend looks beside his truck with a suprised look, only to see my laughing face behind the wheel of my Tacoma. We gave each other the nod and slowed down to 30 mph on the highway to form a slow moving road block for a good 10 miles. Lesson learned, ride in a pack.

    Happens all the time with bros driving their F150's, Rangers, and Silverados...

    Just today, a little high school kid was speeding like a maniac (saw him coming in hot in my rear view mirror) and was weaving in and out of traffic with his 08 TRD Sport DCLB... Probably was doing 65-70 in a 45-50 mph zone. I pulled to the far left lane and he was switching between the center and right lane. As he passes me he gives me some dirty ass look and looks at my Taco like it's a piece of crap. I just let him go by. Some stupid high school drivers really scare me/piss me off.

    If I am correctly understanding what you posted, you are setting up the vehicle in front of you, to be rear ended by the vehicle that is tailgating you?
    I sincerely hope I am not interpreting your post correctly.

    One night coming home from work, I was driving in my reg cab 4x4...no lift, no hid's or silverstars...I was driving in the fast lane doing about 5 over like I always do and was behind a charger that was in the slow lane. Out of no where SHE slams on her breaks and swings in behind me and flips her brights on. Didnt bother me at first due to my 5% tint. I let her ride my tail for about a mile with her brights still on. Finally i got a little pissed, slammed my breaks and whipped in the slow lane real quick, she goes flying by me then iI flip my brights on just to show her that my low beams were on the whole time...funny thing was when I brighted her, it lit the inside of her car up like the fourth of July!

    No if I read what he is saying, you set up the tailgater so he can't follow you through the lane change
