Re[2]: Road Rage/ My Blood is Still Boiling

I've found that letting the emergency blinkers flash briefly will startle 
the idiot, but they will only work a time or two before the victim, er, 
offender, realizes that they aren't brake lights.

I rarely ever get tailgated, mainly since I drive fast.  However, should 
someone actually keep up with me I generally let them pass.  I don't 
tailgate people myself as I'm afraid of the damage that could result (to 
both car and wallet).

I always thought it'd be fun to attach a button to the dash that, when
pushed, would activate the brake lights.  That way you're in no real danger
of being rear-ended, there's no dainty TAP which most tailgaters are pros
at dealing with........and wouldn't it be fun to watch em lurch?
