How to Deal with Tailgaters Using Your Kids' Help – A Fun Trick That Works Every Time!

[ohose]

@telebum there are plenty the same where I am, and as I live rurally, the culprits do appear to be set to one speed. The other thing I have noticed on the roundabouts locally to me recently: multiple drivers sit in the left lane waiting to get on the roundabout, but signalling right, then they go straight over! WTH is that all about?!

@telebum ah yes the one speed wonders.

@telebum winds me up no end!!

or the drivers that do not know to take a roundabout and sit over two lanes and then look shocked when there is another car, or brake to an almost stop in a slip road.

If you have to get their seat belts off to do this its not safe for them.
Imagine having a crash and your children are without seat belts, you wouldn't forgive yourself.
I'm not being unpleasant about this, just realistic.

@ministeroftruth13 where does it say they do this ?

 

[ministeroftruth13]

@julee88 and why did I say the word if? Different perspectives, clearly. It can be difficult to turn around with a seat belt still on.

@ministeroftruth13 doesn’t the post say clearly that her children turn their heads?

 

[ministeroftruth13]

@anti_liars_forjesus my mistake.

 

[ministeroftruth13]

@julee88 as said to Carol, my mistake

 

[joebrown]

@ministeroftruth13 I'm pretty sure as a mother her children's safety comes first, so can't imagine for one second she would let her children do this if it meant taking their seat belts off.
Give her some credit but then again I know you can get some fools who would allow their children to do it and even drive around on the daily with no belt or car seat

@ministeroftruth13 no, they're teens so only need to turn their head

 

[farmergal]

Just slow down. If they're not leaving adequate breaking distance between themselves and you then you need to leave more between you and the car in front, because they won't be able to stop in time if something happens.
Even with no car in front I just slow down more.

 

[latrese80]

I just slow down to annoy them. A quick light tap on the brake can also be a deterrent

 

[coberst]

@latrese80 yep! I do this lol

 

[1techsan]

I’ve always asked mine to do that.. works every time!

 

[ttyler]

Hahaha love it

 

[latrese80]

My pet hates are:
Cyclists
Motor cyclists
Idiots who use main beam when the road is well lit
Cyclists
And cyclists

 

[coberst]

Cyclists are fine. Cyclists who behave like 🛎 on the other hand!

 

[latrese80]

@coberst the latter seems to be every one I come across lately
