Today, while driving home, some idiot kept tailgating me, so I slowed down, hoping he'd overtake me. He didn't, so I pulled to the side of the road. He did the same, in front of me. He kept toying with me until I crashed into another car trying to speed away from him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, some aggressive asshole was tailgating me on my way home, bumping into me twice. I got scared and kicked my car into high gear and got out of there. Seconds later, a traffic cop came out of nowhere and pulled me over for speeding. FML
Today, I was tailgated on the highway. There was a car in the lane next to me, and my tailgater was WAY too close to risk slowing down, so I sped up in order to switch lanes, which bumped me over the speed limit. That's when my tailgater turned on the flashing lights. FML
Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML
Today, I was driving home when a guy crashed into me from behind. I got out of my car and told him that I was going to call the cops. He then asked me if we could move to a corner because we were blocking the way, so we then got back in to move. I looked in the mirror to see him driving off. FML
Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML
Today, I was driving down a one-way street, when some raging dumbass came screaming the wrong way down the road at me. My instant reaction was to brake and give the guy a chance to do the same. His instant reaction was to keep going and wreck my car. FML
Today, a girl was tailgating me, even though I was going at speed limit. Annoyed, I drove 10 mph under the speed limit, and every time she honked, I went 5 mph slower. Too bad she got the last laugh… I was pulled over for "reckless driving." FML
Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML
Today, a car was tailgating and honking at me while trying to pass me, so I decided to be a bitch back and go extremely slow. We got to a two lane road and the car passed me up. The man in the front seat flipped me off while pointing to his wife in the back seat who was clearly in labor. FML

Sounds like he mixed up GTA and real life.. but I hope you're okay, OP!
khaoticpanda 28
And wouldnt result in a crash
Kamon97 23
Or slam on the brakes it will always be their fault on the insurance report :p
z3r0d4z3 22
not always true. people have abused the brake check for financial gains.
xx000o 27
In some states it's legal to open fire on asswipes like that.
sweetbliss3 37
ignore them might work, but im wondering why she didnt call the cops. people are weird sometimes and you never know.
Ian7890 23
if everyone called the cops when someone was tailgating them, the police phone lines would be busy all the time
sweetbliss3 37
true. but im going more towards the other person was doing exactly what OP was doing. thats a little alarming.

its all fun and games until you blow yourself up

Should you be saying C4 when the government is listening
Saikon1357 25
I sincerely don't think the government is listening to this website. They don't care about the problems of its citizens.
cakefete2 31
Sounds like something the government would say to throw us off of its trail. *checks for wire*
Axipiter 24
It's only okay to say C4 when you're playing Battleship.
dyehardxen 19
Or getting something from a vending machine. I had one at school that was nothing but water, the "C4" slot was almost always empty.

Just don't have a premature detonation... They suck.

I could never understand the concept of tailgators until you meet a douchebag like this one looking for thrills of GTA-style fun. Glad your ok, OP.
Axipiter 24
Heh heh. "Tailgators". I've never understood that concept either. I thought they all had tails.
HelenLFC 27
You're*
kawaiichick 9
Yeah, hahaa I just noticed that now. Made my correction before the time was up but guess this time the spell check on my phone was sleeping.
ktiskool 18
Wow he's a douche :P

Some people really just need to grow up :/ and not get behind a wheel until they do so!
whitetiger13131 26
man people just suck
mattjamt 16
What's wrong with man-people??
whitetiger13131 26
aha let me rephrase. "man, people just suck"
iOceanus 18
"Let's eat grandma," versus, "let's eat, grandma."
cakefete2 31
There's also the one about the panda that "eats shoots and leaves" as opposed to "eats, shoots, and leaves."

Some people aren't responsible enough to be allowed to be driving around in a 2 ton bomb.
askullnamedbilly 33
And OP might be one of them. You don't get involved when someone's trying to play games with you on the road, you ignore them. If their behavior actually endangers you, you write down their license plate to report them to the police and park your car until they arrive. If you take the bait and try to speed away, you're only engangering the rest of the people on the road and might cause an accident like OP did.

Um, 2 ton bomb? Most vehicles are under 1 ton unless it's a commercial vehicle. Most are probably at or near 1/2 ton. And while I'll grant they are weapons, I'm not sure I'd call them bombs.
bfsd42 20
103, you are very wrong. Most vehicles are 1-2 tons heavy. What you are thinking about is towing capacity. A half ton pickup probably weighs two tons, but can tow a half ton.
Denois 9
Yeah, I thought about that later. I blame too much work and school. :-(
cmac86 24
you know I actually read that as your profile pic, the anti-joke chicken. it really fit the pic well.
DontClickOnMe 28
What a jerk. I hope the damages weren't that bad. It really sucks though now that you'll have to pay for it. Sorry =( next time just try to ignore those kind of people.
Rizzen 27
wow, that guy was a real ass sniffing ********
iOceanus 18
It sounds like you're referring to anal. :p
blondeamazonian 18
Pease tell me that you got his plates... pleaseeee!
ShannonBitt 29
I don't think that would really do any good because the guy didn't legally do anything wrong that OP could prove (at least I don't think). Now if OP had brake checked him, It would've been his fault if he rear ended OP.
Durantye 8
It is called harassment and tailgating is considered reckless driving. As well as when the guy got infront of him and purposely went extremely slow (assuming he went extremely slow) is against the law to do it without purpose(car problems/towing/tractors ect are obvious exemptions) in the end OP probably won't get a dime but he can still report the guy that was doing those things.
EphMi 5
how exactly do you prove someone is tailgating you?
