Don't vote Democrat.
Okay, why was she driving and filming at the same time to begin with.

She's damn lucky to be alive.

I had somebody the other day tailgating me real bad. My drivers rain guard on my door was cracked and a chunk flew off and hit them. They backed off and then sped back up to get my plate. I saw them on their cell following me, and I slammed on my brakes. They almost went into my bumper. Kept tailgating me until I whipped it into a parking lot. I passed them going down the road, they must have turned around and came back to confront me.

Don't tailgate.

i always have a drawbar of some sort in my reciever, winter its a pintle hook, most of the other time its a std straight mount with a 2" ball. im thinking of getting one of those "tri-ball" mounts. that would punch a good hole through whatever could hit it.

I had this dude in a escalade run up on my bumper then whip into the right lane cause I wasnt passing the other car fast enough and then whip back on my bumper after I was about a half cars length ahead so I brake checked the hell outa him he almost hit me, would have if I hadnt slammed on the gas again. Then I just stayed next to the car till they slowed way down...they didnt want to get in the middle of it. So I calmly changed into the right lane and the freakin guy followed brights on and all so i slammed on the brakes again and continued to slow down to about 20 mph b4 he swerved around me....I conveniently thought I saw a piece of debris in my lane and swerved to the left but I misjudged his acceleration rate and he was past me by the time I would have spun him out :-(

Out here that's a safe following distance... :icon_rofl: Well, not safe, but about as good as you'll find.


That said, I hope she had an extra pair of pants with her.

Best tailgating deterrent ever. I'm going to get a custom stick that reads : DON'T TAILGATE ME, I KILL PEOPLE.

Holy shit, that came out of nowhere!

Also that prick shouldn't have been in the left lane. If you aren't passing, GTFO!

Road debris, ain't it a bitch. Bad thing about that, she or he will have to pay for the damages, unless their insurance covers it. Also, they are lucky it went center throught the windshield.
