    Even better... Install a light bar on the back of your car wired to a switch... Then when a car tailgates you, flick on the light...haha... No really don't do that! I used to angle my mirrors so that it would shine the light back at them at night and they would back off.

    Yeah cops would love that. Years ago I had a 40" light bar on the roof of my minivan. One night, some guy in an f150 cut me off so I lit him up. A few seconds later blue and red strobe lights lit up the intersection. It was a cop.....He peeled away in full cop mode and took off after some other idiot I guess. I took the light bar off when I got home.

    I usually just assume tailgaters aren't doing it to be dicks, they're just retards and don't know any better. I just deal with it in the Mirage. In the truck if I get annoyed enough I make some stinky black jerk clouds.
