Fun ingenious satisfactory methods of dealing with a particularly irritating motorist?

Asked by ucme (50047points) June 8th, 2010

Make this shit up if you will, or retell past incidents where an annoying individual received a dose of special treatment. Who where when why what?

True story as I had this irate driver behind me because I wouldn’t let him pass me as if there were somewhere to go in real heavy traffic. We were in the far right lane doing 50 mph and I saw the lane was ending and merging to the left and knew he was so tight on my ass that this was not going to work out well for one of us. At the very last second I pulled into the left lane and he had no where to go but off the road and off he went air born and totaled his car…..I’m pretty sure he didn’t fair well as it was a spectacular wreck.

Driving down the freeway and kept getting cut off by a carload of trouble makers, I changed lanes so they could have it all to themselves. They changed lanes so they could continue to screw with me. We got into a race of sorts, I passed them, they passed me, back and forth it went. The next time I was in front instead of accelerating I stood my vehicle up on it’s end I hit the brakes so hard. They slowed down and took a few minutes to get their poop in a group then it was on. We were side by side when I saw the driver duck, she had this stricken look on her face, that’s when I noticed the gun in the passengers hand pointed at my head. Again I stood my vehicle up on its end and drove over the medium to get the hell out of Dodge. Now, as tempting as it sometimes is, I don’t play games with other motorist.

Once a car was following me dangerously closely, and I could see the driver wasn’t particularly looking where he was going. So when I saw a huge sand pile in front of me as part of some construction work, I didn’t brake or move until the last second, when I swerved into the other lane. Much to his surprise, he was no longer tailgating, but rather heading straight for the sand pile. I hope it taught him a lesson.

Whenever someone in front of me merges onto the freeway in an insanely slow manner They should be speeding up to 65–70 MPH the moment they’re on the onramp, unless traffic is jammed, I always just merge on the freeway real quick into the #4 Lane, while the car in front of me is still turtling in the merge lane, then I pull up parallel to that car, and then i make sure s/he cannot enter the freeway, forcing him or her down the merge lane into the offramp ahead.

Of course, this is only possible when merge lanes are continuous (connecting both onramps and offramps into a single long line), and when the offender in front is not just kind of slow, but insanely slow.

It’s also good to have a 8” X 8” sign with a stick to hold it, kept at the left side of the drivers’ seat. The sign should say “HOW’D YOU LIKE YOUR CELL PHONE SHOVED UP YOUR ASS?”

I don’t drive, but if I did… I came up with an ingenious idea to prevent other drivers from “tailgating”. I would want to rig up a switch whereby I could switch on my brake lights without actually applying the brakes. That would get ‘em to move.
