im talking about pickup trucks. with their bright ass lights coming up on my bumper, im not dumb enough to test an 18 wheeler. florida restrictions are absolutely ridiculous. you cant have an aftermarket exhaust but you can have a 30 inch lift on your monster truck. the headlights are just fucked on almost all lifted trucks.
i think the law is that the lights cant be higher than 31 inches off the ground...dont quote me on that though.

I have been in 2 car accidents... On one I was 16 and got in a slight fender bender because I was following too close and the person in front stopped suddenly to make a last second turn, and the other because the car in front of me hit the car in front of it. Both minor accidents where only a new bumper would be needed... Ever since both of those, I make sure to try and stay at least 2-3 car lengths behind the car in front, and I upgraded my brakes so I could stop faster.

But keep on tailgating. And be sure to post here on what the cop said after you told him the car in front of you brake checked you after you were tailgating him. It'll be funny.
haha the thing in the first paragraph happened to me last week. when it was raining i was trying to pull into my community, and we dont have a very big gateway so i was taking it pretty slow because i didnt feel like sliding into the wall. so all of a sudden this kid who just got off the bus decides to run across the entrance way. i tap the brakes and this guy in a bronco II clips the left corner of my bumper. he then gets nailed by a chevy 1500 and tries to blame me and scream at me. i call the cops and the cop pretty much calls the guy a retard and says there is no way its my fault. now he's paying for $450 in damage and also having to get his shit fixed. sucks to be him, but theres no way i was at fault.

haha well that law isnt followed very well. i saw an expedition yesterday drive by me and the bottom of his body was about 2 feet above my roof. it honestly looked like a mini monster truck. and if he can get away with that, but the ricers with exhausts cant. then theres something wrong here. thats wayyyyy more dangerous than an exhaust.

1. when nice car rides my ass, i throw my lit cigarette over my car so it hits them on the hood or even better on the windshield. they back off quick, truxst me.

2. when pos rides my ass, (i have fucked up wireing in my car) i hit rear defroster which turns my brake lights on even if i never tuch the break itself.

3. if ANYONE (under 5500lb) puls out in front of me almost causing an accident. i nicely go around them, get in front of them, give fair distance between cars, and i pretty much lock up my breaks. its great watching them go into a ditch.

---im a crazy driver, i get road rage from hell---

You do realize that this is Florida, and everyone keeps a gun in the glove box, those of us with concealed permits are allowed by law to stand our ground when threatened, and we will probably have that gun drawn by the time you get both your feet on the ground, right? Even modern-day cavemen like myself, who enjoy breaking noses with their bare hands, prefer drawing a gun over hand-to-hand.

Its even better when it hits their windshield and explodes causing them to swerve into one of those construction barriers on 275.

AH. AH. AH.

yeah!! I have concealed permit too. but what the fuck good does it do in the glove box? Well my experiance tells me even if I stop they dont or if they do when I get out they take off. Most people are smart and wont pull a gun if they were at fault, the 10 20 Life law help that out. If they do pull the gun they better be sure to use it fast and not miss.... but anyway I do get your point and it is a good one!

I've never really brake checked anyone before, It does get annoying when people ride on your ass when your already going 10mph over the speed limit. I think im gonna try this whole brake checking thing tomorrow
