[QUOTE="Silver Penguin, post: 183579, member: 1187"] All good, sensible advice but......... at commute time, there are often no choices of less aggressive roads. They're all bad. You can pull over to the shoulder, but plan on a wait of several hours for the traffic to calm down. Logically, it makes sense to let the worst of the morons just get past you. If they haven't the smarts to keep a safe distance, they are unlikely to do anything to preserve YOUR safety. When driving my car, I will ease off the gas and let the car slow to a safe speed for the stopping distance that they've left. Stick shift = no brake lights. Eventually, they get it, and move to another lane. Then, I can accelerate back to a decent speed. Tail gater no likey that, because I will then be going faster than his next victim, so he pulls back into my lane. Runs up to my bumper and I ease off the gas. Repeat ad nauseum. Childish? yes, and I wont do it on my bike. Jill [/QUOTE]
