Scenario is this, you're on a highway going 110km/h - 140km/h. You check your rear view mirror and there's this idiot who's literally just 3 meters behind you, keeping up.
There is absolutely NO ROOM for braking, and should something unexpected pop-up ahead and the brakes come on - well, you know the rest.. so are these people stupid or what?

You know what we need? A mod/button in our cars which turn on the brake lights when they get too close for comfort. Yeah, it'll give em a good scare.

We get those people a lot around here in SoCal...for me, if they get too close for comfort i just slowly take my foot off the gas and have them get close w/o you steping in ur brakes and as soon as they brake i gently step on the gas again...if they don't back off i just let them drive by, because chances are, they know you can hand their ass to them if you wanted to. no need for more stress..

I used to ALWAYS do this to ppl...in NY forget it...EVERYONE drives like this...everytime I drive or get stuck in any type of traffic I feel like getting out of the car and beating everyone around me that is driving like a moron.
