the best thing to do when someone is tailgating you is to slow way way down. Im talking like 20 mph in a 45.
usually thyll do 1 of 2 things.... back off...
or more commonly,
pass you.
then after they pass you floor it and keep up with em.
man i love pissing jackarses off.
im sorry, but when people tailgate me all it does it really **** me off. i like to return the favor.

 

(cough) little problem with road rage?

 

nah, actually in drivers ed they tell you to slow down if someones tailgaiting you to both decrease their likelyhood of rear-ending you, and to encourage them to pass.

i never tailgate them in return... i just keep up with them.
unless their goin waaaay over.

 

Yeah, I sometimes slow down as well when I am getting tailgated. Also, you got a nice motor even if its non-vtec. I hear those are still pretty fast and reliable engines. The 94-97 are great cars! It makes the Accord look bigger on the outside compared to my generation. I like the 5th and 6th generation a lot!

 

if someone is tailgating me, 1) slow down 2) turn on my hazard lights 3)turn on my front windshield cleaner fluid so it gets all over their car...thats my 3 step process. the slowing down pisses them off, the hazard lights freak them out, and the windshield fluid on their car pisses them off more. its fool proof, but then again, i rarely get tailgated

 

ha i can see why! lol!

 

does the windshield wiper fluid really get all over there car?
if so... lawl!
im so trying that.
I get tailgated all the time. Not really sure why... but its usually in the middle of the day on a weekday. Thats when the most people tailgate me. ( I dont do a lot of freeway driving, so its usually in the country )

 

What does bouncing the tach mean and how can I avoid it?

When I get tailgated I usually just pull a little ahead of the car to my right and stay at that speed so the car to the right is blocking the car behind me. They usually back off because they have no where to go except slow down and try to pass me on the right. Hate those tailgaters who tailgate me when I'm going with the flow of traffic. Makes me feel a little better seeing them pissed off as they back off to try and pass on the right. Was lucky enough that one time a cop was doing a speed trap a little up the road and pulled the guy over. When the roads are empty I usually pull to the right and let them pass because theres empty space in front of me so it makes sense to let the guy by.

 

had me a rev session today when a guy in atundra reved it at me so i reved it back! he was kool about it though

 

Accordsown: I have the 3 nozzle sprayers with the middle 2 aimed as high as they go ..... works like a charm!

As for revving, I try to shift before the limit, but I've hit it before. I hear that the Honda's that don't last are the ones that are babied too much.
