I'm definitely not in to it. Real bad thing.

I don't tailgate - Ever. We crash, it's my fault.

I don't tolerate tailgaters, the closer they get, the slower I go - in this car, it's still in production and parts are easy to find so I'm not as mean as I am with my 25 year old Datsun, and it's not fast like my Datsun. And It's real bad, cause my vehical is a base model compact station wagon, and I'm always getting tailgated by trucks and SUVs - They always seem to think some old woman or a teenager is driving. I just go passed two days ago in town at 6:45 by an SUV, I was doing the speed limit(25), which wasn't good enough for them, so they went on the wrong side, the outside on a right hand curve - They went the rest of the way down the road with my high-beams on them.

But my datsun - brakes are getting slammed and if they don't back off, we're fighting for sure - they pass, I'm flooring and I will keep them in the wrong lane untile they piss them selves or die. Either way, I don't tolerate it, it's a threat to my life, and I will treat the offenders accordingly.

I had some simpleton try to pass me in wrong lane in a Beretta once, two lane blacktop, blind hill, for sure a bad wreck if there was oncomming. Soon as I saw his fender next to my door, I floored it. I'll neverforget the look of his passengers as I held them in the wrong lane for well over a quater of a mile for as fast as he wanted to go.

Another time, I had this snot in a BMW 330 tailgate me on the highway - I slowed to like 35 staring at this moron in my rearview through my rollcage, then he gets an opening on the right and tries to pass - what a fool. I held him in that lane as fast as he wanted to go, till he nearly rear-ended a pick up in the slow lane. He looked over with this look of anger, and I looked back with no mercy - He spiked the brakes and made an abrupt right turn off of the highway.

I have some good truck ones too - strangly, they treated the Datsun better, but they treat the Kia way worse. I did have a woman in a SUV tailgate my Datsun when I first got it, before it was boosted - I let her pass on the next straight cause I just couldn't compete with her power at the time and I wasn't going to be forced to speed, then I did tailgate her in the corners to watch the SUV flounder, making sure I had my inside light running right down her door at her sideview mirror. Like I said, I changed my tactics, and don't tailgate anymore though.

I always stay a safe distance, I'm always early, and I try to treat people with respect. But life has been cruel, and when I get bullied - Something happens to me - It's not good.
