karma for those who tailgate *video*

She shouldn't have had to move over. She was fully established in her lane and keeping up with traffic. She shouldn't have been filming but if she feared danger it is good she did. He is the idiot that lost control.

In my mind, it is not a question of having to move over, it is that she could have moved over. I don't buy her explanation that she couldn't move over because of trucks in the right lane. I saw two; otherwise the road was pretty clear of traffic. In other words, even if you feel like you shouldn't have to move over, do it anyway, just because it's not worth the aggravation.

Yeah, it's cool and funny that the jerk lost control and crashed. But like I said, it could have easily been her who lost control. What if she were doing this "public service" of filming the guy and ran into your car because she didn't have an eye on what she should be doing?
 
Woulda shoulda coulda. I'm not going to give in to someone being a jerk and tailgating me. Usually that is when I go slower and if that doesn't work you hit the brakes.

It looks to me like he sped up and then slowed down to flip her the bird. I think she's in the right here except for the filming but it made a good video. She even stopped because she witnessed an accident.

How did he lose control anyway? Trying to cut her off? Hard to tell.

Both of them are jerks, but you actually think you are being cool, slowing down instead of just getting over and letting faster traffic pass.

Why would you want to drive with someone tailgating you anyway?

My thoughts exactly. I rather move over and give lunatics a wide berth.

Why would you want to move over to the right when there are no openings in traffic and your turning left?

Severs the pickup driver right for being an idiot. He should have just waited.

Seriously shes just as bad trying to play innocent, she couldve let him pass and get back in the lane, both win. But instead shes like a bunch of people who go slow/ refuse to move out the way, they do it to get a kick or something..and then when u try to get around them they speed up.

This happens all the time to me. Its amazing how mad people get when you do the speed limit. I don't feel like speeding and getting a ticket and having my insurance go up. Everyone is in such a rush now, if they just leave a few minutes earlier they wouldn't have to drive like that. Nothing is like the drivers we have in New Jersey.

Couldn't agree more. Both to people rushing and how badly people drive in New Jersey
 
I notice there is always 3 types of "cars" that people who tailgate drive:

1. The Hot Rod Pick Up Truck: It usually has some type of decals on it of flames or something similar. They all usually have flames somewhere on the truck.

Most all have Truck Nutz swingin' from a hitch.

2. The Honda Tuner. This guy's car has like 118 HP, but he drives it like it was some type of race car. They all have the coffee can mufflers from Pep Boys. Usually, at least 2 panels are painted in primer and a lot of times at least 1 door panel is missing.

This guy has no problem crashing into you because he has nothing to loose.

3. The Toyota Yaris (or similar) Driver. For some reason, this is the guy that baffles me the most. I always notice this guy is wearing a white shirt and a tie. He always seems to be "late" for something. Maybe he has some important office meeting? I don't know.

But, he is always driving 5" from my bumper. I think if I ever slammed on the brakes in either of my cars, that thing would squash up like an accordion.

*********Honorable Mention*********

The Crotch Rocket Driver. While not in an actual car, this guy will often drive like he is the most protected driver on the road. Maybe he thinks the matching leather outfit he has on will save him in case of a crash? But, in the summer you will see the same guy driving with a wife beater and no helmet.

Dunno. But, this guys motto is: "if the motorcycle fits - I can drive there". This guy will zig-zag in and out of stopped traffic, drive on the shoulder of the road, and do like 160mph on a straight stretch of road. Often he will do wheelies down the highway, regardless of who or what is around him.

Basically, I think this guy is just crazy.

^ i hear you on those. the funny thing is when people plaster big stickers of some lame company (clothing, drink, etc.) like famous for example, and act like they own the dayum road and are cooler than everyone else. i'm not going to be a driving or walking billboard to make someone else rich. here in southern california there's too much of that nonsense...

Well, since I'm poking fun of everyone. This reminds me of the Harley guy with all the USA, "Marines" and POW MIA flags blowing in the breeze off his rear seat. This guy usually drives just fine and slow - I think because he wants everyone to see his flags.

I saw this guy the other day and had to laugh. Despite having 3 flags blowing off the back of his motorcycle, he had a bunch more folded up and bungee corded to the rear seat, like he was going to pull over some place and change up his flags.

This guy I always think wants to be "bad", but in reality, I always think he's a dentist or something similar.

Or maybe he is a "VET" and he wants people to remember the men/women who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Sometime the best of us forget what other did for us.
