Viofo has treated me well. I use an a119v3; $99 on amazon. Has a GPS-enabled bracket. They do make front/rear ones as well.

​

But if you're down for a watch, LTT made a decent video breaking them down.

I consider it a “don’t fuck with me” sticker. Intimidation

You think every highway in the state is 65? My drive to work the limit varies between 50-60 ya jabroni

I typically move over, let them tailgate the next person, and move back to left lane.

I had a super car with 440 cu inch engine. Couldn't see the guys headlights. Jammed the brakes on and the gas at virtually the same time. Last I saw was the tailgater 200 ft onto someones lawn, trying to stop. Never saw him again. Karma is great.

The gentlest tap on the brakes ...

I am thankful for this thread because it has felt like I am the only one who leaves enough space.

This is Rt 4 from torrington towards farmington every morning.

Right. Such as the one they're following too closely?

Thats a good mass pike lesson in general, I really don't care what Friday afternoon traffic is doing. 72 in the right lane is my jam.

And the lives of other drivers on the road.

The driver being annoyed is the one being tailgated. If the aggressor chooses they can risk their own life by driving around the car they’re tailgating.

Can ANYONE make me replay the footage to them? Or worse, give them a copy? Let’s say a cop wants to see it at the site of an accident and I know it won’t help me? Would an insurance company subpoena it? It would be gone by then.

Before I jump I figured I’d ask.

Thank you!

Slowing down to annoy another driver is the opposite of safe. Unless you're in the slow lane of a 3 lane highway. In that case have a blast.

If that's not the case. You're an idiot.

70ish in a 65 in the left lane and you wonder why?

They're clearing out the non passing cars from the passing lane. It'd be fantastic if they were doing it all the time.

There's often nowhere safe to pull over on side roads. The tailgaters often won't pass you either. Even if you slow to 10 under, in a passing zone, with no oncoming traffic.

Adaptive cruise is often unusable due to this. It leaves a gap big enough to fit a car in, so people swerve in, your car hits the brakes to create another gap, only to have another car swerve in, causiyour car to brake and create another gap.

After a few people squeeze in, you're basically stopped and making traffic worse and risking getting rear ended.

I was hoping to use the letterkenny reference. But seriously tho. If you use one of those Even then... If you do have a permit to carry a concealed weapon to advertise that you have one is a stupid mistake. I've always wondered why people get those it just makes you a target for gun thieves, it literally yells I have a gun which defeats the purpose of having a concealed weapon for your own/family defense.

I move over for those people. On the mass pike cops will tailgate you and get you up to 90 mph, turn their lights on…you die inside and move over thinking you got set up to be arrested for reckless driving…they turn the lights off and speed down the left to do the same to someone else doing 80 mph. It happened to me lol. They do it to clear out cars not passing the cars to the right and to get the left lane moving to clear up congestion.

I’ve also seen a hidden (basically out of sight from the highway) mass state trooper suv go zero to 90 out of a vegetative deep steep ditch right next to the highway to pull the guy over in front of me for doing 92 even though the left lane was basically bumper to bumper and the slow lane was going 80 mph. I’m a fast driver,not saying that’s good, but I was hella comfortable on that stretch of the pike.

I just remember seeing the suv flying out of nowhere perpendicular to traffic, cutting across all lanes with their arm pointing out the window to the car in-front of me. It was near the end of the month. I was shocked because I was the only driver with ct plates among the cars around me, everyone had mass plates.

I still do not understand how the trooper pulled that off and didn’t disrupt traffic at all. I will say traffic did slow down to reasonable speeds and opened up after that. I’m sure everyone not pulled was thankful that didn’t get hit with that big ass ticket.

Ehhh I don’t know about that, some people are fucking crazy and have no issues potentially murdering you via car crash as a response.

I will say if it’s one slow poke in front of you and there’s a row of cars behind you, the respectable thing to do is flick your high beams quickly twice. Most normal people will move over to the right and let you pass. If now you’re not going fast enough for the other cars behind you, you move over right.

If there is a few cars a head of you going slow, do the same thing, the driver in front of you will flick their lights to the person in front of them, the message travels to the slow poke, and ideally they move over.

Someone flicking there lights quickly twice should make anyone mad. Flick lights don’t tailgate.
