    you have to build a device that dumps a bunch of oil when someone gets too close. they can't tailgate you if they are in the ditch. also, get a rear facing dashcam and a sticker that says you are recording the aggressive idiot tailgating you.

    and you can post the dashcam videos on youtube and use the revenue to pay for the deductible when someone inevitably runs into you

    It was an error in my typing that caused me to confuse you !!

    I will admit I suck at English I got called all the time on my work orders . To the point the office manager needed to approve the rough draft before it wasdone.

    This is what I have done on a few times when a tiny car failed to stop and hit my rear bumper!!

    Stepped out of the vehicle walked to the rear . Looked for a broken tail light or other carnage .

    Everything good on my truck as the coolant runs out of the other vehicle .

    I Said " sorry You hit me and drove off"

    I sit back and read what people post. I'm an introvert. I'm still here. Sitting here in the corner. Watching everyone.

    Off topic (but, who isn't?), I wish that was actually parking lot speed. Too many drivers race through the lots, making it impossible to back out of a space safely, especially with large vans or trucks parked on each side blocking visibility.

    Can’t really crash proof, but I know I’ve seen spears that you put in your tow hitch that would deter people

    My truck has been rear ended twice. Both times the other driver hit the trailer hitch dead on…Pretty much saved the truck from any substantial body damage. I’d estimate the speed was 20mph??

    Once with an old rusty frame another with the new one. No damages
