I finally found a way to stop tailgators. I attached a metal box
under my rear bumper and filled it with about 2 pounds of one inch
roofing nails. I have a cable that goes to my dashboard. It was a
vent cable that I modified. When a tailgator climbs on my ass, I tap
the brakes a few times. If they dont back off, I just pull that cable
and the nails fall on the road and flatten the tires on the tailgators
car. The way I designed the box, the nails fall out and spread across
the whole lane, that way I can flatten several tires at once. So far
I’ve gotten rid of every tailgator when I pulled the cable. It often
takes a minute for their tires to go flat. After that, they are
history.

Man, I haven’t played "Interstate ’76" in a long time, that was a
great game for it’s time. I didn’t find the nail dropper very
effective in stopping the villians tailing my car, but the naphlam
dropper was extremely good. It took me a good number of tries to
realize you had to get the dang .50 calibre roof-mounted gun in the
first scenerio, otherwise you’d never win the following scenerios.
Alas, never did get the Nitro-pack expansion (Interstate ’81 I believe
it was called).

Believe me – that is NOT a new idea. The problem though is that there
is evidence, namely the box under the bumper. So i’d be careful. You
might want to consider just keeping a small cup of nails next to you on
the driver’s seat. Get a good grip on the cup and let the nails fly and
no one can prove anything. Don’t let the cup go since your prints are
on it.

I hope you have to drive the same road some minutes or hours later and
have your tires flattened by your own nails. While nobody cares much for
the tailgater, the poor sap behind him as well as others get flats too.
If you want to do something that really works, mount
a camera, and get his license # . Call the police or
highway patrol, and file a complaint against him.
They will call him in, and you show up at the police
station with camera in hand and press charges.
Get a good camera(s) with sound and date on the
recording, and get the road ragers the same way.
You may not win any kind of court case ,
but the cops just love to get these creeps down
to the station and put it in their faces .. esp
with camera evidence and a live witness. This
works really well with your local bullies who
are habituals, and you keep running into them
on the road. I got a teenager doing that, and the
cops took the film to "daddy". End of problem.
Also, you don’t need a gun permit to carry a
camera … and a camera carries with it, the
entire police force.
Want to become a millionaire? Invent a lapel
camera that your child can wear to school
and record bullies ( both teachers and students ).
Post it on YouTube.

Yeah, pretty dopey. Unless you go back after and sweep them off the road.
(Yeah, right.)
One of my methods is to make like I’m trying to grab something from
underneath the passenger seat, so I disappear from their view. Then slowly
drift onto the shoulder and correct it suddenly and jolt back up. This
usually works, as nobody wants to tailgate someone that looks like they’re
headed for a crash. Obviously , this shouldn’t be done in a busy area.
Sometimes they’ll stay back then sneak back up eventually. Rinse and
repeat.

I rather doubt that the OP has either the nerve or the class to do that.

People like the OP (who are the epitome of MFFY) couldn’t care less
about that, though I share the sentiment.
Truly poetic justice would be if he were to also lose control of his car
and head straight into a telephone pole after running over one of his
own nails.

Naah, too much risk of collateral damage (the drivers other than the
tailgater). Trunk-mounted firearms, placed to aim at a radiator, and
remotely controlled from the driver’s seat, would be more effective
and take only one driver out. That is, if the price of such weaponry
doesn’t destroy your budget in the process. Just be sure that the
tailgating driver isn’t wearing LEO apparel.

Dang, you came up with something seemingly more effective than

I’ll give you a 3 out of 10 on the troller’s scale, only because you

Best thing to do is to learn how to drive, but in the absence of that,
we’ll let the retards believe there is safety in driving some magic
number posted on a sign.
Then we laugh at their dumb asses as they are permanently taught that
safe and legal aren’t synonyms. =))

My old pickup had a rusted out bumper so I welded a piece of heavy
I-Beam on the rear to replace the bumper. Then I welded 3 of these
pointed spikes that farmers put on their tractors to carry hay bales.
They stick out about 2 feet. Since I live in farm country, they are
common so no one bothers me about having them. They just figure I
haul bales on my truck. Then I put a hidden switch under the dash
that shuts off the brake lights. When some fuckhead rides my ass, I
shut off the brake lights and lock up the brakes. I’m just waiting
for the moron that slams into my rear, those spikes will destroy their
grill, headlights. radiator, fan, belts, pumps, fuel lines, A/C, and
whatever else gets torn apart. After their car is destroyed, they
will get ticketed since in my state any collision into the rear of
another vehicle automatically makes the guy that hits from the rear
guilty.
So far I had one ahole almost hit me, but he swerved, went off the
road and hit a tree instead. His car was destroyed and he ended up in
the hospital in critical condition. It was all over the news. I
laughed my ass off watching the news.
