rear fog lights. Usually my V1 is going off in this instance, so I just move over and laugh at them. But I have a short attention span and generally forget about it quick.

Except one time I remember, when a QX56 with FL tags was right on me going well over the limit on I-26. I pulled off a while later to a rest stop and he was there... took a lot not to let him know that for me it's a phone call, and for him its... well... don't drop the soap.

So, the question I have is how do you all handle tailgaters?
I read your post, and you we're (A) driving slow as sht (B) using posted speed and engine temp as an excuse (C) instigating the situation by slowing down to a crawl.

Lets just say the posted speed on the road you were on was 25MPH (or at least HOPE so! because if you slowed down to 5-10MPH on a higher posted MPH zone that makes you a bigger DCK)

Now to answer your question how not to be a dck? well...Is simple really...don't be part of that "Group" That group of drivers that drive as if they had A " Proctologist consultation" going on in the car, same group that thing they are always right and like to police other drivers, the group of drivers that when they get passed on the HWY even if it is by 4-5 car lengths they still flash the High B and blow the horn, well you get my point.

So, you too are saying that driving at the speed limit (35MPH) is being a dick? So, had I been driving 5 mph faster I would not be a dick? Or would I have to bump that speed by 15?

I don't know where you folks who think like this drive, but I certainly don't feel I am required to move faster than the posted limit, especially to please someone who is being an ass.

I never understood the need to raise my hand or tap the brakes...thats like lowering to their standards. I just try to brake earlier in case traffic slows ahead. Some people are angry behind the wheel...while most are clueless.

I do feel uncomfortable when I am the passenger and my buddy is right on the bumper of the car in front....I keep braking with my right foot on the non existent pedal lol

I've never had anyone tailgate me in the vette, they couldn't catch me

In the X, now that I have the diesel, I just downshift, accelerate and watch as they choke on diesel fumes
