TAILGATERS I have little patience with. I believe this is a good argument
for private
ownership of small anti-tank weapons.

If they SLOW DOWN without coming into my 'personal space', I will pull over
and let 
them by. If they make NO ATTEMPT to avoid hitting me unless I speed up, I
let them stew.
Extreme cases I have been known to offer a brake check (usually NOT in one
of my keepers!)

In most cases, this happens in a middle lane on a crowded expressway, where
there is
no place for me or him to go. The guy acts like I should ram my way into
another lane
so he can gain a car length or two. If that makes me an asshole, sobeit. 

I am one of those people who is EXTREMELY courteous to other drivers who act
like
they know how to drive. If they give me courtesy, I return it always. JUST DON'T
GET ME MAD!!!! (kidding)
