Interesting Opinion

That was me! You almost killed me.....

Dont forget the z750 weighs 1 million tonnes, (approx) so would have taken him a long time to stop

Nobby nibbington!

Yep a nob. I think I would have done the same, but in the light of this perhaps I will now move well over to the left of my lane an wave the nob on. Better to have the idiot in front where I can see him.

May I suggest that he may well indeed be a nob!

Kwakers!

If he were a biscuit, he'd be a Hob Nob.

People flashing/beeping you for slowing when they are tailgating you (never mind dangerously chasing you for miles afterwards) are one of my pet hates on the road. My favourite was when a royal mail van (who had been driving too close for ages) went mad at me for emergency stopping when a cyclist rode out in front of me and he missed rear-ending me by literall inches. What should I have done, ran the cyclist down?!

I think the people that 'brake test' (hit the brake light or slow, either-or) to try and make people drop back are the idiots. It is dangerous as the tailgater might overreact and cause an accident that just didn't exist. You are certainly only going to enrage them … which again is a dangerous thing (as you found out, his actions after that were much worse than the initial tailgate). It is not like it was ever going to work either!!!

I think it is possibly one of the stupidest and pointless things a person can do …

If someone is tailgating you, then indeed they are being dangerous/stupid, no question, but flashing your stop lamp is going to do nothing other than exacerbate the situation …

If someone is tailgating, they are obviously an idiot … best thing to do, get out of their way, call them a knobber in ya lid and let them overtake ... they will soon clear off … situation defused … danger -> minimal … stress -> minimal.
