When I was moving out of my home country (NYC, NY), to parts much less civilized (the burbs), friends told me of an easier way to lose tailgators. Wait until they are inches from your bumper, steam coming from their ears, eyes buggin out of their heads, on pull on my headlights. This works great in the daytime, with nano-seconds to brake, they brake hard, if they are wise to this trick, the third or fourth time really brake. If you dont leave rubber, you can Collect BIG.

Crash

Thank god for flashbacks, my memory really sucks.
