Modern Tailgating


Recommended Posts

I usually let them get past, then overtake them again at 135mph waving my cock out the window and carry on to the nearest police station whence I hand in my license and make myself a nice cup of tea before locking the cell door behind me.

Cant be doing with all the aggression on the roads these days, though I do think it was worse 30 years ago! I was on the receiving end of way more roadrage then, maybe because I was being a grade A twat. :D

 

What really boils my fucking piss is a fast A road following a meathead sales exec in his fucking 61 plate juke pulling an "exclusive" Caravan at 38mph - his boot faced misses sits arms crossed beside him, his 2 ugly brats in the back gorging themselves on stinky sweet and sour pringles while watching mindless shit on their dvd screens rather than taking in the beauty of Englandshire that is only feet away. Only when we get to an uphill over taking lane he floors it to 70 and if you dare to get past you get flashy light abuse and hand gesticulation before they drop back to 38mph to annoy the next victim. Fucking twats should be banned from driving!

 

Mind you if i was forced to spend a week in my caravan being rocked by a force 8 gale and horizontal rain in a shitty low rent naff caravan site, where the pool is unheated and the beer is flat, listening to the mrs moaning about everyfuckinthing and the kids knocking lumps out of each other through the boredom I might also drive like a cunt!

Just dropped £160 on two MiO cameras and assorted gubbins. Hope it makes a difference.

I fucking hate caravans. Someone said to me the other week that she was going to buy a caravan to save money on expensive foreign holidays. I can't think of anything worse than sitting in some foul tin hut on wheels, sat crunched up eating a badly prepared dinner you've had to cook in a 4 inch saucepan.

 

Then it's time to fuck off 400m down the road to start hanging about in the bogs to wash the pots followed by a trip to the verruca infested shower before an evening in a club where you are forced to 'join in' a variety of shit games whilst you force 12 cans of lager down to cope with the discomfort of sleeping bent double in the brace position as the dulcet tones of the rain drum against the roof all evening.

I can.  It's called a tent.

Caravanning is fine if the caravan is modestly proportioned and you're doing it alone.  It's like tenting without all the bits I hate.  I hate tenting.  Tenting can die in a fire.

me mam and dad had a caravan for years, which was ace when us kids were small. it was a cheap way for the family to get away for a holidays, my folks didn't have shed loads of money so 2 weeks in spain were out of the question!

 

we got to go to flamingo land over half term and the like, which must have been ok when we were little, though i don't ever remember us making it over the complete 2 weeks during the summer. each year me dad would say we were going on holidays for the full fortnight, i seem to remember that we had all had enough of each other after 10 days or so....

 

long after we had both grown and left home my folks kept the caravan just as somewhere to go for the weekend. but since my nieces arrived, they just go to see them instead!

 

i too could not be doing with having to go across the field for a pee and the like, but at least the caravan had a toilet in it! when i was a nipper i think it wasn't an issue, but the older i got the bigger an issue it did become. i could not be doing with it now! i've gotten old and soft....

 

one of the guys at work has one of those transporter van things which is a "camper", it is as grim as fook, not helped by my asking where do you pee in such a vehicle out os the window or in a bucket. NOT nice....

 

never EVER been tenting,  i don't think my life is any worse off for not doing so.

I fucking love camping. Not ever caravanned*, but I love camping in a tent.

 

 

 

*In the traditional sense of the word. On the internet this is probably a term for licking a stranger's wife's anus while she reverse-Woollards the front of your unwashed car in a carpark in Chobham.

There is a sense of freedom when you're on your own two legs, rucksack and tent on your back and some nice mountains to wonder trough, in the summer and not in UK (too wet).

Without casting any aspersions on anyone from this community, because IMO as genuine car enthusiasts we're far more likely to actually like driving and, as such, will probably be thoughtful & conscientious drivers, I wonder how many bimbling, middle-lane hogging twats fail to realise that they're the bloody problem and indulge in rants about "tailgaters"?

^ same here! Our entire district has a total of half a mile of dual carriageway in a total area of slightly over 100 square miles.

My father....

50mph everywhere...A roads, Dual carriageway, Town centre, Tesco carpark?.....check

Wrong lane? (no middle lanes near him).....check

Indicators?......nope.

Thinks he should enforce his will/speed upon others?......check

Quick to fly off the handle if he sees anyone else do something he thinks is wrong?.....check

 

Im surprised he hasnt been dragged out the window of his Focus and beaten on the roadside by now.

My Dads response to tailgaters was to roll old golf balls out of his Montegos sunroof,this was the late 80s early 90s. I'm currently collecting big lumps of metal to beef up my Fronteras rear bumper. I can't stop people from tailgating but my bumper will if they fuck up.

Bloody hell,I remember that film. Didn't the main characters brother die and he used that truck to avenge his death?

 

I plan to be more stealthy with my bumper though.

my F350 had a slightly bigger minicab repeller than that one never lost a game of chicken with one.

 

with a similar rear one & nato green paint job never got tailgated .

Get a van with no rear window or rear view mirror and remain blissfully unaware. Can't say I take much notice in a car either TBH.

Had the rear facing dash cam a week tomorrow, as MattLikesCars says it really does do the trick.

 

In about 250 miles of driving only had two people zoom up behind in 30 zones, but they dropped back to a gap you could park the Exxon Valdez in, lovely. Other than that can only really remember one other person getting a bit close for comfort.

 

A+++ WOULD RECOMMEND. If you want the cheapskate option, find an old webcam and stick it in the window. Vans are also good for this as Alan says.

I had a rear facing cam, it didn't stop close up idiots. Sorry about the stupid captions, I was playing with an editing tool at the time!
