Seriously, houston has a real bad problem with this shit, honestly how do you deal with it without romping on it and looking down and ntoice you are speeding like a bat out of hell, but damn isn't there a law against that shit, someone sitting 6" off of you'r bumper becuase you aren't going fast enough for them :mad:

They can get a ticket for following you so closely if cop happens to witness them. I know this from personal experience as well, back in high school i got written a ticket for 'following to close".
People do that to me in my personal car and i cant stand it. But all i gotta say, is if anyone ever rear ends me becaus they were tail gateing, im going to have a hurt neck.

Ya my neck would hurt too, but not bad enough to knock the shit out of the other driver :D

I hug the center of the road and go real slow, like 10 to 15 mph slower then the posted limit, if they dont fighre out that im pissed then i slow a little more. only do this on back roads, not on highways or main busyt roads. if they tryu to pass floor it and keep them behind you. usually works well.

I do it also. I love seeing the look on their face when they pass you.
