Those glue-on additions just doubled the value of his truck
By way of removing half the value from the ornaments.
Absolutely they are probably worth more then the rust bucket they are glued to
And his IQ
That's a 12-valve Cummins. Even half rotted out with 300,000 miles, they're worth something stupid like 12 or 14 grand.
The city of Chicago takes care of this for me, the streets are full of potholes, I see them in time to dodge them but the person tailgating me doesn’t see them in time and hits them!
Forget the potholes it is the bullets you should try to dodge in Chicago

When our son first moved out he loved to tailgate, made him feel macho or something. After his 4th rear-ender in 2 months, his insurance company dropped him like a hot potato. When he went hunting for another company they wanted $900.00 bucks a month! He finally returned his plates to DMV, kept the car as a fancy driveway decoration, and pedaled his happy backside all over town (begging rides when it snowed) for 3 years. Not to mention the difficulty he had getting his dates to pick him up during that time...
Yeah, he doesn't tailgate anymore. People can be taught.
Kimberly lane £
Shame your insurance company had to teach your son after 4 innocent people had their lives disrupted instead of you teaching your son without anyone having to be rear-ended, though.
@@mjc0961 Some boys learn the hard way. One of mine now drives a late model bmw---carefully.
Mine too. He did without the bike but the $2k bill for her repairs were on him. His insurance (USAA) dropped him too and had to go with a crappy company. He learned eventually.
Insurance company are a scam
Don’t use all the glue! You’re gonna need it to keep that truck together.
Lmfao
You are going to need some serious glue to keep that tan together
Ha Ha so true but he will need 5 gallons of glue for truck
Actually spray foam works great for holding rusted out trucks and cars!
Very true besides the joke lol..
Had a guy tail gating me last night on my way home from work. Doing 53 in a 50 zone and he got so pissed off that he turned on his fog lights, high beams, and light bar. A couple minutes afterwards red and blue lights flashed behind us and pulled us both over. He got a ticket and I was free to go :)
Hehe got what he deserved!!😆
Now that's justice my friend! See how it goes when you are cool?
Karma at its finest
Nice, but 999 times per 1,000 he gets away with it.
Funny, but now you have about 50 cars trying to catch you to tell you that you have a boot and a coffee mug on your truck....
True

....but the officer called that...speeding. Dude. As a man who believes humor is the best weapon with which to fight both evil AND stupidity, I have to report you just earned yourself a subscriber.
Saw an old geezer who has an axe welded to his bumper. It is leaning up like he forgot it only minutes ago.
Advantages of having a 30 year old truck with a 4 speed manual. I just drop a gear and dump the clutch. No brake lights. Just a big ol steel bumper closing in on em. That’s why I leave the hitch in the receiver.
Priceless.
Scott Daub ....gotta love a Reese hitch...I say ...get another bite of that....bitch !!!
Same here, if I can no longer see your headlights in my mirror, you don't get the privilege of brake lights. I've actually dropped two gears before and dumped, that one almost hit me, did a four wheel lock and never got within twenty car lengths after that.
Under 100kmh with a 4.2 Ford, drop it in 2nd, stamp on the throttle, 130 and redline comes up fast, push to OD for 3rd
My rear sticker says" DONT TAILGATE ME OR I'LL FLIP A BOOGER ON YOUR WINDSHIELD"
I take my foot off of the throttle and gradually slow down without touching the brakes. I'll coast to a complete stop. It drives tailgaters crazy.
I have to do this almost everyday cause some stupid 4wheeler wants to sit behind my trailer n not have to pay attention...iv slowed to 45 on the internstate slowely not hitting brake just using gravity or my jake and then the idiots finally went around and then i couldnt catch up to them...i can only fo 63.
That will get you popped in Jersey...
i used to do that, but so often when you stop, they stop and sit waiting for you to do sumething...
Wingnutairhead lmfao nothing happens in jersey
I want a bumper sticker that says " The Closer You Get, The Slower I'll Drive "
I put a bumper sticker that said, "I break for no apparent reason" beneath a dent in my trunk lid. Tailgaters would back off quickly after reading it.
+juistian case I brake for hallucinations
juistian case hopefully it's spelled wrong on the bumper sticker too 😑
They can read?
I used to have a Chevy van with no reverse lights, so I wired them into a switch on the dash. Never had a tailgater stay close on my tail after I flicked them on while slamming the brakes on.
Man that’s dirty!😂
My personal favourite is a handful of pennies and an open sunroof. With practice they can be tossed upwards and out without anyone behind seeing the movement.
Why not nails! 😂
Yeah, why use currency? Get a bag of pebbles, like pea gravel.
Try white porcelain cracked from old sparkplugs.
remytv damn your savage dude. Real savage
Some spray paint or WD40 also works.
I just took some 1/2 copper pipe put together like a Gatling Gun barrel, made a tripod, a little bit of black and brass spray paint. Set that bad boy in the back of my truck pointed out the tailgate and when Tommy Tailgater decides to get too close, just hit the auto drop on the tailgate and watch him slam on his brakes. I have had the police called on me several times for this tho, but once they see it's just pipe and the reason it's there, they laugh too.
Yeah, auto drop on the tailgate...
Why u lyin bruh
You are a mad genius! I'm gonna glue an old refrigerator to the roof of my van halfway hanging off of it and at an at an odd angle!
No sir, YOU are a genius!
DEBOSS GARAGE: LMFAO!
Feb. 2018---Family friend had a different tactic. Hooked a switch to his brake lights so when he turned it on, the brake lights suddenly came on while he just cruising down the road.
Could just have your lights off. Then flip them on. No modifications, exact same effect.
I did this, except I had an additional switch in case that one didn't work. The second switch turned on my reverse lights.
I installed offroad lights on the back bumper! Aimed right at drivers height eyes ! It only takes one flick of the switch to get the message across!
@John Burton So he's a menace by not actually brake checking.
I think there was a little bit of truck on that spot of rust.
Years of malticuless care involved here
@D James Morgan work trucks should be structurally sound and not full of holes. Lol
@@joshuamorin2762 bruh come to Alberta shitboxes r the way to go, why clean something if your gonna get it dirty again in the next 10 minutes?
@@joshuamorin2762 and holes are the body not the structure 😂😂😂
I simply pull over & let them go by ... no brake check, maybe they will get a speeding ticket or you will see them at the next stop light, but eliminates road rage... has worked well for me
That works well some of the time, but other times, like when you have but one lane, or no passing, or no place to pull over and let them pass, or if they're being a jerk, that's the time things get massively annoying, and dangerous.
They'll need a lesson at some point, road is used by everyone. Can't let some crazy bully the road
speed freak That should work but most of the time there’s traffic ahead of me so I can’t go anywhere. They just keep riding everyone else’s bumper and speeding excessively.
Is it not funny when you catch up to them at the red light.
@speed freak Exactly. I am not going to do something stupid just to 'teach someone a lesson'. Sometimes there isn't a place to pull over for a long stretch. If there is room to pass, let them get by, even if it means dropping below the speed limit by 10 or 15% to encourage them to 'move on.'
Back when I was 19 and stupid, I got rid of a tailgater on my Ford Fairmont real quick. I applied my brakes and I heard his tires squeal as he quickly moved to the other lane. I laughed my ass off. I don't suggest anyone do that. There could have been serious consequences. Another story. My dad once backed into a parking spot with our 77 Ford Supercab at the time. When he put it in park, he forgot to set the brake, and there was enough play that the truck rolled back and tapped the Corvette behind it. There was a bit of damage. He found the owner, and I guess Dad left the updated policy at home. So he had the owner follow. Dad said the Vette owner tailgated him all the way. When Dad came upon a quick stop sign on his route home, he said he came very close to slamming on his brakes, and then after the collision saying "OK, asshole! Now you owe me!" But Dad was not that kind of person. He let it go, and handled his responsibility.
When I was 19, I also had a Ford Fairmont. Two tone baby blue, that car was a tank. I had an accident that would have totaled today's cars, but all I ended up with was a slightly dented bumper and a scratch down the side, I kinda miss it but for the lousy gas mileage.

At night when someone tail gates me! I turn my side mirrors so their head lights blind them! They back off real quick or pass me real fast. IT works awesome. IF they continue to tail gate THEY blind them selves. Not my problem.Shawn
Good to know!
Works well for me, especially with the bigass tow mirrors on my 76 Ford
Newer cars can't do that anymore.
That's my personal favorite ,the other,trick is pour 3 ounces of oil in side the bed .It drips onto bumper then blows onto their windshield.
I've always wanted to release one of those racing parachutes
Sammy Spaniel BEST COMMENT ON HERE ,YOU WIN THE PRIZE.
Sammy Spaniel GREAT IDEA!! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED OIL SLICK, NAIL DROP, AND SMOKE SCREEN, OH THAT'S BOND!!
Imagine if you welded an anvil to the top of the tail gate.
Or maybe a tool box.
Firstname Lastname Fords would get a hole in their bed :/
like herpy has between his legs. FORD
That gave me a good chuckle Joe.

Unless you are going slow in a fast lane. I agree about tailgaters, I'm a driver and see people tailgate all the time for no reason. Many times when I drive in a left lane and someone is closing in, I would move to the right lane if its safe to do so, but often they don't pass, just get stuck next to me, drives me crazy. I really wish we could think of our roads as PUBLIC, meaning it's not my lane and I do whatever the heck I want, but think about traffic flow, not make other drivers route harder to accomplish, it's frustrating as it is.
It would be good for everybody if we would have more respect for the rule of law, not how I personally feel about it. Roads are public, my home is a private place and treat it as such.
Those assholes who weave in and out and in and out just to see them at the next light. All for nothing
Well said.
Even going slowly in the fast lane doesn’t justify tailgating. At a push, it’ll justify flashing your lights or beeping your horn, but there’s really no excuse for tailgating. The distance between your car and the car in front of you is the your stopping distance. Leave an adequate gap and you’re more likely to stop using nothing more than the brakes on your car. It’ll be safe and incident free. Happy days. However, if you get too close to the car in front, you’re more likely to crash into it when it stops. Trust me, I’m a Miata owner. I get tailgated on the regular.
Brilliant!
Recently bought myself an '02 Cummins that is in perfectly rough enough shape to do this. Love it!
I just hook up a windshield squirter nozzle on my rear bumper facing backwards. Then I fill the reservoir attached to it with baby oil. Place the button under the dash and when they get too close, just a couple of spritzes does the trick. And when they turn on the wiper the baby oil smears and makes a mess.
Excellent ideal. I might rig up something like that.
After they wipe all that baby oil off ,a car is racing to catch up to you again and a gun appears out of the passengers window
Ya and you then respond by lowering a sawed off shotgun out your window and give them a dose of 00 buck
@Mr. Shlock Do you see the white pick up truck driving down the road. that does not make him a liar, or me a fool for believing him
Wow!
That idea should be added to custom cars!
Good James Bond type deterrent!
I have found that turning on the front and rear windshield washer tends to annoy them because the overspray gets their windshield wet. After that if they don't get it I'll ride the edge of the road and let the dirt and gravel take care of them.

Or just keep a bit of good sized shale in your glove compartment or cup holder. Works Every time and teaches a valuable lesson
MasterrChiefCure - How do you know he drives slow? Just because someone tailgates you, doesn't mean you're driving too slow. A lot of times, I'll drive 85 MPH in the far right lane (the slow lane) and have people tailgate me for no reason.
I'll let the car drift into the right side as well, then jerk the wheel and purposely over correct, then back to the right edge. The back of the car swings pretty good and it looks like loss of control. The tailgater backs way off.
MastrrChiefCure because going slow 2 feet from someone’s bumper gets you there faster than doing it from a distance.
I'll choose a safe straight part of the road, speed up to get away from him, then suddenly brake and reduce my speed. They know I'm a bit nuts, then, and usually back off. NEVER do this on a curve, as they won't know you've slowed down so much when you're out of sight. It's the visual aspect of slowing down quickly that gets their attention.
I’m seeing SO MANY comments basically saying: If you get tailgated, it’s YOUR fault hur dur dur. You should move to the slow lane doi. If I hit you it’s because you aren’t going fast enough, doh! When I travel on a multiple-lane highway, I typically travel in the far right lane at about 5 over. There are still people who tailgate me. Sometimes to the point that I can no longer even see their lights in my mirrors. On other roads, there is just one lane and I typically travel 10 over and people STILL TAILGATE! I won’t go faster because I’m already pushing it and I don’t feel like getting a speeding ticket because YOU are an asshole.
Totally agree with you. Like you said you are already going faster than the posted limit.
Not to mention that if I am in the left lane, I am in it to pass - if some dumbass wants me to go faster, too bad, I'm in it to pass traffic on the right, not run some pretend race.
i'm trying to imagine that boot glued to the back of a porsche 911...
it would have fallen off years ago, speed has killed many a boot
fetuso fetuso they were so busy watching the boot and thermos when the tailgate falls off and nails them!
If someone is tailgating you in a Porsche 911, you better sell it grandpa.
Wire backup lights to a manual switch. It's pretty damn funny at 40mph.
N Ferraro. lol. I actually had a car like that once. had the wiring harness replaced but backup lights still didn't work. They put in a manual switch. worked great!
I put mine in reverse momentarily before it has a chance to go into it for real. I massively pissed off a Toyota Landcruiser driver by doing that and running the hazard flashers at the same time.
lmao once my friend put in the clutch, popped in reverse real quick while he was rolling and then put it right back into 3rd and the car behind him slammed the brakes so hard
Another thing you can do is point one of the washer jets slightly away from the windscreen so it squirts over the back. Drives them nuts.
Should put a carseat with a doll on top of the truck.
I like when there is a road Hazzard. .i move over at last minute. Person behind hits it ..
i did that when there was a 2x4 in the middle of my lane.....
Billy Corey with big potholes I do it every chance I get...watching in my rear view mirror I giggle my nuts off.
Mr. Shlock sooooo...
.....you are obviously special needs
Billy Corey I’ve done that 😂😂😂😂
A buddy calls it the barrel game. Those orange road barrels sometimes tip into the traffic lane. Full tread peels from 18 wheelers are another damaging gift for that small car that's drafting my 3/4ton pickup truck.
Tailgaters don't have a view of the road ahead because it takes all their concentration to avoid kissing my trailer ball as my speed varies. I move over at the last minute and watch the carnage in my side mirror.
Usually there's sand on the edges of the highway on dry winter days. Edging over slightly will kick up a cloud of it to sandblast the windshield of a vehicle that's too close. They usually get the idea and pass me or back off.
I have had people riding my bumper so closely that all I see in my rear view mirror is their windshield. No hood, no grille, no fenders, just the windshield and after slowing to a crawl....they still won't pass.
I haven't owned a car with a manual transmission in a few years, but I used to try letting off the gas and then dropping a gear but people are so stupid that they will hit you before it registers that you have lowered your speed without hitting the brakes.
As bad as tailgaters are, I agree with another commentor here that it is very annoying when a car rolls up next to you on a multi lane road...And then doesn't pass you. It's like they are side-gating(?) your car.
no that`s side drafting
I tried it with a baby carrier on the roof and it gets lots of attention.
richard allonzo no you didn't
That's savage!
I rigged a spray system under my rear bumper using vegetable oil. When someone is behind me, I flip a switch and a spray of oil hits them and they try their windshield wipers and it makes it worse. They have to pull over and you can see they are pretty mad......but they think it was something on the road and not me. Works every time.
Fuckin awesome.
Nice fantasy
A folding tailgate on my trailer helps tons, I usually fold it up inside the trailer... Most people don't realize that things inside my trailer aren't just going to roll off but the fact they see equipment sitting there and the gate laying flat on the boards usually (most often) makes them keep a reasonable distance.
Psychology tactics do seem more effective than the regular type. Love it! 🤔
changed rear bumper from stock to 3/8 steel plate seems. to total out modern cars
Miguel Castaneda they will still tailgate, ive got a Chevy 2500 with 9 inch lift and nice steel bumper and they still want to ride my ass no matter what lane I'm in. They hit me they're totally fucked. I had a lady hit me at 15mph i got out looked at truck and no damage, her car fucked my hitch went into her radiator. I asked her if she wanted to wait for cops which i told her she would get ticket or just leave that she can figure out later my truck is fine and dont have time to wait for cops. So she wanted cops which gave her ticket and i went on my way while she waited for tow truck. Dumb bitch what she gets.
I have an old rail road rail as a bumper on my 2007 Ford F350. That should handle any tailgater.
I have a 1992 Ford F150 and my front and rear bumpers are that thick stock. I got a 3 inch scratch and a small dent in the front fender when a brand new Dodge Challenger wrote itself off against the side of my truck. The damage to my truck isn't even worth fixing but the Challenger went to the wrecking yard
You would be surprised what leaving a trailer hitch in your receiver hitch will do if a car runs into the back of you. If you can moderate it a bit by letting off on the brake before they hit you, it will just go through their front bumper and radiator, slice sideways as they attempt to steer to the side, and then come back out a new hole. Basically two keyholes and a slot cut between them. Had that happen once and all it did to my pickup was knock a bit of dirt off my trailer hitch. Kind of felt sorry for the woman though, so I spoke with her husband on the phone and told him that everything was alright and no one was hurt, but the car probably should not be driven due to all the coolant rapidly exiting the radiator. I told him that I would stay there with her until the tow truck arrived to get her off the freeway. Just a normal day during Houston rush hour...
Grumpy OldMan - At least you were a gentleman.
It gets worse every year. Use to be any model of Jeep were the worst tailgaters and drivers. Now BMW's are the all time worse tailgaters and traffic violators. And I mean aggressive reckless driving. Get yourself a front and rear dash cam ASAP. Saved me from a wealthy BMW driver who side swiped my 2000 F150. Kept my dash cams a secret from the two cops. Got a sworn statement from other driver who lied lied lied and was faking outrage. A week later I handed my video to cops. Get call from an officer telling me the county prosecutor may prosecute the liar. Haven't heard back since. I have been driving for 30+ years without a single traffic ticket.
KickDownDoors What models did you get?
2000 f150 ? good luck with that.
maybe you should get out of the way is it's everybody tailgating you
Patrice Le Brasseur go around , shit head
I also find a huge tow hook sticking out of the back works wonders.
Once had a guy hit the back of my SUV and he needed a new radiator afterwards !
Genius!! This cracked me up, I see more tailgating where I live now than anywhere I’ve lived and I’ve lived on Long Island and Boston before.
not a huge diesel fan but this is one of my new favourite channels
I'm building the LS Mercedes just for you!
Adjustable Creep learn how to spell favorite
+nikon d3200 favourite is UK spelling, color = colour, labor = labour, neighbor = neighbour, etc.
our modern world would grind to stop without Diesel engines. Think about freight ships, trains, trucks and farming machinery.
Haha kinda reminds me of something I would see on The Red Green Show
haha. not to many know about that show. its one of my all time favorite shows. i thought it had stop coming on years ago till i seen it on two saturdays ago. this does seem like some that would be on the red green show.
+DespisesTheCorruptUsGovn they quit making new episodes several years ago, but once in a while you find and episode or two on tv
***** yeah i know they stopped making more episodes awhile ago, but they play episodes on tv almost every saturday. just like andy griffith they stopped making episodes along time ago but still play them. i miss three's company, M.A.S.H, Hogans hero's & the rest of the good ones that used to be on.
My kind of people! I love Mash and Hogans Hero's. I think I was born a couple decades too late
DEBOSS GARAGE heck yeah man anyone that likes & watches those shows are a friend of mine..i could watch mash, hogans hero's, andy griffith, gilligans island etc.. all day long.
I do scrap metal removal and my truck is often filled and still people tailgate I can't figure it out . Maybe when a water heater goes crashing through the windshield they'll get the message .
You will be held liable & face prison time in Oregon
I'm sure I'd be held accountable in every state , point is don't tail gate period especially behind a truck carrying metal or sand and gravel but people do it anyway not realizing the potential danger .
I thought that was the point? They want something to happen, so they can get a pay day.
Be Dammed ,I think you're right on point , that thought does enter when I check the rear view and see someone extremely close . I can pack a truck but shit happens I know
no you will be charged with an unsecured load.and if people die with junk falling of the truck your up for manslaughter. isn't there enough of road rage now
This genius just glued his tailgate and quarter panel together.....
That's a good idea! Cut the boot in half to drop with the gate and return to the together position.
🤣🤣🤣great eye
Tailgaters are annoying.
Audi drivers have disliked this video
And bmw
You could also hook up an oil reservoir to an easy to install fitting on the exhaust manifold along with an open/shut valve When a tailgater approaches, open up the oil line and smoke your problem away.
Simple solutions to simple problems. Love this guy.
I used a 5 gallon JERRY can with a danger explosive sticker on it ! 👺
Lol, might keep the tailgaters away, but i bet it'll make for a good cop magnet as well.
"its not the time to get Dutch" I love it 😁 greetzzzz from The Netherlands ;)
This was both hilarious and informative
I'm a retired trucker and when ever I got a tailgater,
and if I was on an Interstate highway after snow storm
and the highway was dry again, I would drift over and
run down the emergency rumble strips for a few hundred
feet and let the big tires of the rig kick up all the sand,
dust, road salt, small gravel that is down in the louvers
of the strip..
That would create a cloud of dust, small rocks, salt
and sand into the air and back at the tailgater.. They
would back off real quick and if they approached again
without dimming their lights I'd do it again and repeated
this until they got a fucking clue..
Dropping small marbles out of the vent window of the
cab works too.. But it's better done at night when they
can't see it coming..
Just a couple of tricks I learned during 30 years of driving..
That's priceless.
Old school is always best, tried and true!!
In the 1980's i had a datsun diesel pickup that when floorboarded would smoke like a demon. That worked good until the hotline to report "gross polluters" I despise tailgaters!
The Pintle hook I have in my receiver does a pretty good job also, I slow down gradually until they get a good look at it. Usually that is all it takes.
Nice one haha, I've just been shifting up and flooring it for a second. Cummins farts are my favorite haha
Tailgaters are SO STUPID. I was on an empty 3 lane road and had someone come up behind me. I was doing the speed limit but he wanted to go faster so came up close behind my car, so I slowed down, and kept slowing down. He had 2 lanes to pass in, but sat behind me. I got down to 40 km h in a 100kmh zone before he realised he had plenty of room to pass.
David Edwards I got one for ya, empty road, four lanes, me in slow lane, car comes up behind me so I slow down so he could pass, had to come to COMPLETE STOP before he would pass!!!
imchasinyou dumbass
imchasinyou actually grammar Nazi is a sign of a mental illness.
imchasingyou - I'd like to see you chase me and tap the back end of my vehicle. You wouldn't make me move, and I wouldn't be disadvantaged from you ramming me, because I drive a 20 ton semi truck (Freightliner). Your vehicle would be fucked up, and I would probably not even feel you hit my truck (unless you drive a semi also, which I highly doubt). It's also used as my personal truck, and I drive it everywhere, even to get groceries at the supermarket. It's old, but it's mine, and it's heavy. Even so, if I found out that you hit my truck, I'd sue your ass just to try and get money out of you, even though I would have very little, if any damage.
If you going to do that just put a deer feeder that mounts to ball receiver hitch run you some wiring and fill it with BBs or corn or something else small
You had me at "You don't want to go Dutch" LMAO! Nice vid
Brilliant idea! I've actually been in fist fights over people tailgating me. I'm definitely not as big of a hothead as I was when I was younger. regardless gluing a boot it's better than throwing punches.
Funny dude!! Unfortunately even if you are driving the limit or even faster, there are MORONS that will tailgate you, even if you're driving the right lane and the left lane is clear!! What is really aggravating is that you are keeping a safe distance from the car in front of you and you know these *&%$#@ behind you cannot stop in time if you should have to stop suddenly!!
Exactly. That's when I double my following distance; so I can give the tailgater an opening ahead of me.
Exactly, I increase following distance when people tailgate me so I can slow down gradually if something happens in front of me so I don't get rear ended.
David Miller here, they just fill in the gap then hit their brakes
So just pull over and let them go past , no point in competing with the mentally ill on the road
Well this is a whole lot better than "lols imma brake check them oops I caused an accident and killed 10 people in a multiple vehicle pile-up."
Great idea! The better you understand a problem the more likely it is that you'll successfully solve it.
I don’t worry about tailgaters in the dually. I keep my mirrors pointed slightly down to keep headlights out of my eyes, the radio cranked all the way up and never look back. I usually don’t even know someone’s back there till they pass me.
I just drift into the gravel/crap that's always on the side of the road. Problem solved.
ck m watch for nails etc... make sure when you do it is a safe spot. Ive done same only to end with a fat nail.
Attach the boot through the bottom with a bunjee so it wabbles a little but still stays put.

i thought thats what he was gunna do then i saw the PL come out.
boot on a bungee? I was thinking Anvil...

I have always been a fan of the wrench welded to the bumper.
This is awesome Rich...!!
I just spray my windshield and let the wipers do thier magic at 75 mph..hopefully the person behind me just came from the car wash.
I don't drive slow and I leave for work at 3:15 a.m. I drive an '04 GMC 2500. Those that tailgate me always have their high beams on. I turn my mirrors out and down and shine their lights back at them. They usually move right and try to hide but I move over also. And if I come upon a "drunk" driving too slow (45-50 or less), and I often do at this time, I politely shine my high beams to help them see. But I don't tailgate.
Daniel Alamo I leave early for work also (3:30 ish). Thankfully 4 days out of 5 I don't even see another car on my way to work.
having electric remote mirrors, you wouldn't really need to 'move over also'; simply keep playing the remote mirror knob to keep tracking their eyes...
Myself, well what I also did is to buy a coupla 13 yard rolls of 2 inch retro-reflective fabric tape.
Set up a small cargo rack in the back window.
Rollout the tape and wrap a lattice of it around the rack.
Tailgater at night will get all his overbright lights, back into his own eyes.
Fringe benefit is that the tape will also reflect light forward, to also passively punish oncoming traffic that hasn't dimmed their lights too!
A friend of mine had no tailgate, a smooth interior flush door in the box with the front raised up, sloping toward the back, and on top of that was a double bladed axe.
Genius and simple. Love it
OMG i seen a car with a coffee cup and a wallet glued to there roof, now i know why
@William sorry to upset you, english is my second language and it sucks
@William i think a saw is sumptin you cut wood with
to react in some manner (as many have posted) let's them know that they are getting to you. people that tailgate mean absolute-zero to me.
This video was all in good fun. Life is too short to worry about tailgaters
After you get rear ended one or twice you might think differently.
frank leary If someone rear ends you, as I understand it, generally they are sited for following too close and their insurance ends up fixing your car or buying you a new one.
Spine injures are permanent most of the time.
ya the guy behind pays genius
I'm doing that to my convertible Mercedes tomorrow! Thanks pal.
Genius!!! Usually i just roll to a complete stop and pop it in reverse
Fill your windshield washer fluid reservoir with diesel and stick the hose in the air intake. Push the wiper button and belch smoke at people behind.
Jackson Steiger Automatic transmission fluid will make a beautiful white smoke cloud when injected into the intake. As with any fluid, do it in short bursts so you don't hydrolock your engine. Either way, kiss your o2 sensors goodbye if you do this.

Or just a bit of shale out the window.
stop, drop the tail Gate and put some ramps up, and motion for them to drive up.
That would be hysterical
That is good idea Deboss, here is what I do....anytime - by my judgment - someone is too close, I will coast down (never brake ck), until it seems safe...about 90% will get frustrated and pass me. Love watching them get frustrated
After a few minutes, the other drivers know that it is glued on!
an old friend once told me that's when you give them penny's from heaven.
grow like the wind T Top ✊ Heads or tails.
Penny's what
I just throw a big turd out the window.
Do you, generally, carry a big turd with you??
True dat
I cant stand idiot drivers either, I don't brake check anymore, I stopped doing that 15 years ago, instead when I have a tailgater that tailgates at all speeds, I slow down and look for the right place to wave them around, I cant stand the idea of being the reason for a wreck that got children hurt or worse, believe it or not, the slow down and wave around works better than anything I have found, I have also been known to exit wait 5 mins and then get back on the road, I might be mad as hell but that's better than causing a wreck and hurting people, the reason for the change in my heart was a wreck that I come up to where a person got mad at someone , and caused a wreck that got innocent people hurt, One other, motorcycles splitting lanes, or filtering , back in about 1979 or 80, I seen a wreck in person where a guy was splitting lanes, A child dropped a toy out of the window and opened door to get the toy, a guy on a bike doing about 30mph ran into the open door killing the child getting his toy, killing the 12 year old sitting in the passenger front seat, and the bike rider lived for about 6 hours, I cant forget that and everytime I see or hear a bike rider getting mad because he cant split lanes gets me mad because it reminds me of that wreck
majik fuzzybutt I slow down to a crawl...but if I can help it I toy with them and don't let them pass. Very entertaining.
Maybe the parent of that kid should have taught them not to open a door in traffic
If you have any age or any brains, you know that back in the 70's things were different. For you to say something like that with you being told that 2 children died and the motorcycle rider died because the bike rider was splitting lanes or filtering like I heard someone else say, The bike rider was 100% at fault and was reasponsable for all 3 deaths, and you say that the child should have been taught to not open the door, I wish that the childrens father was close enough to see you and reach you, what if it happened to your kids, and you seen it coming and happen without being fast enough to stop your kids from being killed? I HOPE that no parents have to deal with anything like that, INCLUDING YOU, PROFESSOR WALRUS, what a fool you are for saying something so heartless
I cant blame you, a lot of people just don't understand how fast it can go wrong, I have heard and so have you, I can stop fast enough, NO THEY CANT! But anyway, have fun and don't let them hurt you
majik fuzzybutt. Thanks for reminding me how fast lives can change on a dime no matter who's at fault.
My grandfather had another solution. He lowered the tailgate, set a cinder block on it, tide a small rope to it and the frame between the bed and tailgate. He made it look like the block was gonna fall off anytime.
Pure Genius, simple but effective.
They'll never even notice. Too busy facebooking or whatever it is they do.
It is crazy what some of this road warriors do behind the wheel. I had one woman driving next to me one day, she was reading some paper, talking on the phone and drinking coffee all of this while she was driving. You want to talk about multitasking??
A1986Ge1995 they think they are strong smart waymen,yet account for majority if accidents
What works for me is just pulling over and let them go by. Btw, like you truck. Peace bro.
Same here. THAT my friend is what the DMV book says to do.
not violent enough for these commentators.
Satanism is Cancer You failed test 1 of being a critical thinker. Do not judge by appearances.
Satanism is Cancer catholicism and flat earthers are cancer. Congrats hypocrite
jasalmon21 Nope. You're the hypocrite.
I put a dash cam on my rear glass with a sign that says: "Smile, you are on camera! The video will be played at your trial a few weeks after you hit me". You'd be surprised how many people either back off or pass me. Most people hate being on camera
When I was in high school, my father and I put a 3-speed on the floor in my old pickup, but we left the gear stick from the automatic on the column, no longer connected. One day when someone was tailgating me on one of the back roads near my hometown, it suddenly occurred to me to just casually drop the old AT lever into reverse. That woke the guy up pretty quick. :)
Rolling coal on them probably would work better
rear facing spot light maybe will work. I have a sunroof so I open it and toss shit out. I wanna rig my rear wiper nozzle to spray straight out (suv)
I keep a stash of soda bottle caps in the cup holder. Flip open the moon roof and toss a few up and out.
Shane Hildebrand I have two square led cubes that are for reverse lights , but have used them to tell people back up
Someone in a little shit box wagon sprayed me with his washer once. Fucking hilarious
trouble is, that will get you a ticket...
Shane Hildebrand thes was 20+ years ago, but I had a station wagon and the rear sprayer was "altered" to spray out the back. Would teach about 15' at a standstill. Rear wiper had it's own reservoir filled with a mixture of water & doe estrous.
I was laughing so hard. That is a great idea. Plus it is secure and safe
Smart man! Love this and you made me crack up laughing
Actually i connected some real bright led strobes. No one will ever want to get that close again.
That is hilarious, But make sure your not driving in the left lane, or slower than the speed limit.
Very creative.
In addition, have some rebar sticking out, aiming for their radiator..
PERFECT! Love it!
Alternatively, just jam the front bumper from a BMW onto your hitch and drag that around.
My truck leaks oil from the rear main......if someone gets to close they get spots of oil on their windshield, work perfect on the kids in their ricers
Get that truck away from the public roads, you are a danger to all of us.
@@birddaddydetta especially when it rains! It turns into a skating rink!
I have a friend with a rusted floor on the driver's side. When they got too close, he would drop a little gravel through the hole. Man, those tail gaters got pissed, and I loved every second of it.
I own a full size 1841 mountain howitzer with carrige and all, and I do cannon shoots with it, as a joke I always load it with barrel pointing backwards in my truck, I rarely have tailgaters LOL, but I have had a couple cops pull me over just to check me and it out, but your idea is pretty good too. P.S. another good way is rig some smoke gernades up so like at the push of the button it looks like your truck is about to catch fire LOL.
