I was comming back home today I got tailgated by H****N C*****Whore.

the lady was follwing me like 2 meters or even less...

What's the point tailgating someone in ONE lane ROAD!?!?!

I understand if it was two lanes...

I was ready to got outta car and abuse the hell out of it almost!

If you in hurry or emergency flash light or something...ffs

anyway there is my bitch for today! :lol:

cheers

I've never been tailgated. People can't keep up the weak arsed c*nts :D

I'm so good that I do 100 on an 80 zone... in the left lane. So GT-R owners have somewhere to go...

I take it on board though - it seems that females are getting more aggressive. This is very common in Sydney.

Most people don't know what the proper following distance is or just simply don't care!

2-3 seconds (dosn't sound like much but it saves accidents from happening)

Dam tail gaters!! (need those device things that James Bond uses!! That would get rid of them)

I have a colour camera ( a digital rear view mirror) that I can record from and it points backwards( handy because the closer they get the clearer the number plate picture) so the next person that gets too close I might just show the footage to the police.

I dont get tail gated much... If i do then i rest my foot on the brake pedal so the lights come on and if they persist then give it a quick jab...

If they look mad as all s$#t then just move over and let em go, cause one day i pulled over and the guy's behind pulled over too and one had a baseball bat and the other day a tire leaver... So i bolted....

I hate people who park right up ya bumper at the traffic lights... Dont they relise that the legal limit is 1 metre....

Some times they park so close you cant even see one bit of the bonnet and that scares me..... Expecially when their driving a s$#t box XF falcon or VC comm.....

I always try and get out of other peoples way if at all possible, but if your tailgated in a one lane road and your doing the speed limit then flip them the bird and start slowing down.

I must admit that I do give people the hurry up when they are in the right-hand lane and traveling slowly, I think if everyone was a little more courteous in there driving then there would be less road-rage.

See'ya:burnout:

Best solution is just to pull left, slow down, change lanes and then sit right up their ass and see how they like it.

Either that or those hand held laser thingos (which i think are illegal these days) shined in their eyes soon makes them back off.

but of course, i never do that :(

thats a bad idea! leaves you open for them to dictate the speed and possibly them slamming their brakes and making you at fault.... i'd rather your laser suggestion... but i don't have one either.. hehe :(

Laser guided lougie's would be an uncouth way to solve the problem, slowing down to almost running pace infuriates tailgaters no end and is the perfect respose if you have the courage, but being the p*ssy that I am and also living in the crime free streets of west Sydney I usually yield.

Yeah, someone tried this on me years ago when I had my 200(b not sx).

They'd cut me of turning right into a street when I was turning left, so I was close behind them....

They slowed right down to 20, i went round they sped up, etc etc for at least 200m.

In the end I just drove into them. Weren't they surprised.:eek:

I knew this one guy that had set up one of those window jets that you have on the bonnet to clean the windscreen on the back bumper of his car and he filled it with brake fluid and when anyone got to close he would let them have it!(must be fitted to older style car because some fluid may end up on your car (goodbye paint) but he had a old car so he didn't care.

for some reason i get tailgated a fair bit, i just step on the brake now and then and they back off, excpet for a few heros that flip the bird because they nearly ran up my arse on the west gate bridge then cut off other road users in an attempt to "floor it past me" yelling because im only doinf 90 in an 80 zone!!!!!!

ASRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

this just happened last night ... i was following a friend to go to some place .. we made a u turn cause she had gone too far ... she just got a brand new integra so she was all careful and not going fast at all and i was following her ... as she was speeding up after the u turn in a 2 lane, rather slowly admittedly but there was noone else on the road so it was ok ... then we sped up to about 50 km ... and this guy in a shit motorbike rides up close ... its a 2 lane road and we were clearly on the left ... but he rides up really close ... like probably over on my lane ... slows down to the same speed and stays for a while .. i'm thinking what the ****?? after a while he speeds up to my friend ... and does the same thing ... she got scared and put her brakes on a little i could tell cause of her back lights ... so i got pissed off and speed right up to him ... met him at the lights and stared at his ugly face ... i soo wanted to get out of the car and beat the **** out of him but my gf was in the car and she was a little scared ... anyways ... lights go green and i kept looking at him ... and moved off ... and so did he ... then i floored it and the ****er couldn't even keep up ... i've got an auto ... and i didn't even put the power button on ... i then indicated right to make a u turn and he followed but he just kept going into the street and i sped off ... later arrived at where we were meant to be ... parked the car ... and could see him driving down the road a couple of times probably to look for me ... i reparked the car to the back cause i was worried he might spot it and do something to it ... ****ing bogans man!!!!!

      JDM R35 Bought at Japanese Auction

      By 70RTY · Posted

      Hi all,   I have bought a JDM R35 at auction in Japan.  This is my second JDM GTR after owning one back in 2009.  I have made a couple of videos that may interest some forum members.  One is collecting the GTR from the compliance shop (and seeing it for the first time) and another on the process of buying and importing a car from Japan.  I'm new to this and would appreciate your thoughts, as well as a subscribe!

      Oh, yeah, no arguing that the duty cycle is different. And a circuit car will go to those speeds for more distance and longer times. But, I suspect that if a tailshaft has a harmonic problem, that it would cause damage and shit itself maybe even on the first pass. A second or two of running at the resonant/harmonic problem speed is already a couple hundred revolutions.

      Shaft speed would be the same, however it's how long they hold it there for and repeated conditions. FWIW half way down the main straight at SMSP I'm bouncing off 4th with a 8600RPM limiter. That shaft would be spinning at 8600RPM for a few seconds before I need to smash the brakes, by T2 it's getting close to that speed again. Now a drag car/roll race car would see that shaft speed for a 1 to 2 secs then they would coast, hit the brakes and that's it.

      With same diff ratio, tyre diameter and road speed, the tailshaft rpm is the same regardless of the gearbag's ratio. Given that very quick drag cars are probably doing similar road speeds to the fastest circuit cars (circa 300 km/h), and there will be many of either category that can't go that fast and so you'd have inummerable matchups between drag and circuit car speeds at smaller numbers, and given that they are probably using rather similar tyre diameters and probably using similar diff ratios, and...where any of those numbers were different they could quite easily be in opposite directions thus cancelling out.... I think you'd find that there'd be more similarity than difference in tailshaft speed between these two use cases, no?
