Amaru has a nasty Tailgating story :(

He doesn't learn either

lol

what is this crap? :( :Oops:

Coming home today this chick in a yellow N12? (the reebok shape ones) decided to tailgate me the whole way from woden to tuggeranong, as in really close. I had to brake semi hard a few times and she almost ran into the back of me every time (it looked like she had to go up the gutter once so she didnt hit me!) yet after these close encounters, she stilled stayed right up my ass. And from the existing damage on the front of the car, it looks like shes already rear ended 1, if not more people.

Since moving up from Melbourne, I've discovered that Canberra drivers have serious problems with tailgating. For the most part I find it's not an aggresive thing, rather just a thoughtless thing.

I do have to admit, I myself have relaxed the accelerator foot slightly since moving here from Melbourne - it's just too easy to get away with speeding here. But I definitely don't tailgate.

Canberra people love tailgating and sitting in the right lane. it's a bad habit that's wiped onto me. i still notice myself doing it though and slightly hit the brakes. canberra drivers are a bad influence on me since i moved here

I drive a GTIR, and I similar harassment from SSS drivers trying to get me to run them.

But one thing: I dont care if your 'overtaking' people in the right lane, if you holding someone up, you dont have the right to be there.

All it takes is two seconds of your time to get back into the left lane and let the R31 be on his way.

Hmm, i can remember at one stage, when i was doing log book with a driving instructor in an old Corolla or something, i had this dickhead BMW driver right on my tail. i was doing the speed limit and all, and we were coming to a set of lights. Being prolly only my third hour behind the wheel of a manual i was...crap...to say the least. Anyways, lights go green and....i stall. finally get the car going as the lights go orange and make it around. BMW got stuck at the lights. Damn funny. Perhaps if he hadn't been tailgaiting me. :P
