Norman: The light turned green and the car in front of us isn't going. Patrick: Honk at him! Norman: Honking might make him mad. Patrick: Flash your lights at him! Norman: That could be misinterpreted. I know... I'll turn on my windshield wipers at him!

Wipers and a squirt of fluid are a great way to back off a tailgater!

Norm can’t honk at the driver. For that, he would need a backbone.

What if there is a car in front of you. I’ve had that happen sooo many times. If it’s on;y a 2 lane road with no passing- nothing I can do. Also have been going over the speed limit already & won’t go any faster. Sometimes if I slow down enough the idiot will back off & we can proceed at a decent speed, sometimes not.

When a traffic light turns green, I give the person in front a 5-second grace period then use the horn for a quick beep. With the proliferation of smart phones and the idea that being “away” from social media for any time is unthinkable, that is happening a lot more.

WoodEye: My first car, a ’57 Beetle, had windshield washers that were operated by pressing a rubber bulb. Two adjustable outlets aimed the stream at the windshield. I just adjusted one to hit the middle of the windshield and the other to go over the car. Most effective tailgater remedy I have seen, and wish more modern cars could be so modified.
