Anyone else seem to get this constantly? Particularly modified car owners. I'm getting sick to the back teeth with it now as its near enough every day now I get someone doing it to me!
Take tonight for example. I was just driving home from work, there was some traffic on one of the main roads going about 10mph. I was leaving a slight gap of about a cars length between me and the car in front. Next thing I know this van comes absolutely flying up behind me literally inches off my bumper. I thought they might have misjudged it or something so I carried on. But no it stayed glued to my arse, couldn't only just see the headlights in my mirror it was that close. The bloke then starts revving his engine at me so I slowed right down to a crawl which really pissed him off  But being as he was so close his lights were blinding me so I sped back up in the end. He then starts signalling for me to pull over which I declined lol. I then turned off into my estate and he followed me so I swiftly fucked off as fast as I could and managed to lose him. Didn't fancy getting stabbed in the face tbh. The thing is he couldn't have been that much of a rush if he's got time to follow me round my estate?!
I never got this when I had my old standard 106. Its like people hate my car  Anyone get it all the time?

I get it in the van, because its really really really really really slow, and on the M602 at 5pm you HAVE to be in the outside lane to avoid the traffic joining the M60 for about 2 miles
I give as much as I get though im afraid

To be expected mate if you start playing games with tailgaters, they loose their minds and want to have a roadside fight. Plenty of road warriors out there.

Modified cars draw attention, on a way I'll be glad to get rid of mine and drive a normal car for a while, a car I can jump in and not give a fuck about where I park or if anyone hits me or anything.

Yes, I hate it, normally tap the breaks slightly
Why do people want stone chips.
Or floor it so the car spins and sprays stones on them

Just slow down to about 5mph below the speed limit. It doesn't piss me off remotely but you can tell they're getting proper rage on as their standard of driving usually drops significantly. If they hit me then they're going to get FUCKED.

All the time and it's annoying as fuck. Everyone's got something to prove it seems. They usually get the old brake test treatment then start flashing their lights widly, whilst keeping a new distance

I sometimes think i should wire a separate break light in my rear window to a switch on the dash for just this reason, flick it on but carry on moving.

my m8 when his clio 1.8 16v (my old clio) is on the road people come right up his arse so he makes it spit flames and they soon back off and as already said tap the brakes so the brake lights come on if they go into you its there fault init  and they dont seem to do it that much when im in my corsa probably because a few people know it around here now x

Tailgating doesn't annoy me as much as incorrectly adjusted headlights and faulty bulbs and fogs on
Go to halfords and get a bulb you lazy fucks!
