  sumtimes when car tailgate u, u gotta see whether u r goin too slow n too far behind a front vehicle. If u tink u r oredi quite close to the front vehicle, the car behind u is endangerig ur life. Normally, i tap my brake lights a few times to warn the car behind me that he is too close to me, it actually works!! maybe he thought i wanted to brake n slow down somemore, so he gotta brake also.... if he stil tailgates u, better switch lane, this guy is mad
  
  

  i guess u guys experienced times when cars come real close to tailgate u.. u see to me i normally change lane and avoid them but this forum is here to highlight certain things to other ignorant riders... ive seen many a time riders being followed closely by cars especially honda civics.. and the riders just dont wanna get out of the way.. so what if u are riding at 120 and the car is behind u... get out of the way.. the scary thing is that some of this drivers wanna have fun and will change lane wif u... then thats the part when most riders will try to outrun the mad driver... is that the best option? outrun the civic coz ur bike can do it? or to get out of the way again...? only to find the car hot on ur heels... its happened to many ppl i know.. and ive experienced it a handful of times..
  
  so what do u do? when u change lanes to slower lanes twice to get out of their way and they still follow u?
  
  try to outrun them? or slow till u come to a stop and leave them no choice but to carry on and stop their dangerous game.. i would choose the latter.. but how many would too?? P

  i jus dun see why should riders get out of the way, they want to go fast they should jolly well use another lane, as mentioned, even if i give way to them, its for another purpose

  i believe the TP should enforce the rules on tailgating and dangerous driving. some drivers really ignore all the safety rules and create trouble for other drivers and especially riders. maybe some drivers are in a rush but some think that it is fun and exciting and personally i think these drivers should go to hell and drive. as a driver and rider myself, i've to constantly remind myself to drive and ride safely... even when speeding.
