I like to think of it as "communication"
I guess that's your choice. Just know that in most places if you "shove your truck up their ****" and they brake check you and you hit them, that is your fault. I drive a truck and get so tired of people tailgating me on the highway. My truck is governed at 62 so often it takes me quite a long distance to pass the truck in the right lane that is governed at 60 or 61. I often end up with people behind me so close the only way I can tell thy are there is their shadow. No visual of the vehicle at all. Throw in hills and it can take us miles to pass another truck

 

yep, two idiots governed ten miles below the posted limit driving side by side for miles, this is the reason road rage exists. if you're goverened below the posted limit you have no business being in the passing lane.

 

Except for maybe......I don't know...... passing? By your logic, or lack thereof, every truck on the road would be limited to the speed of the slowest truck. What needs to happen in that situation is the truck being passed needs to bump his speed down a few Mph to allow the passing truck to clear faster. That's what I do but unfortunately lots of drivers won't.

 

Sorry man .... Your deal wasn't the kinda of tailgaters I was thinking about when I posted earlier .....
. Completely agree

Completely agree
I see it from both sides ..... I absolutely hate people that drive 50 mph in the fast lane with nobody in front of them and won't move.... Id like to just push them outta my way....... simply because they don't care about how their stupidity affects the rest of us that do know how to be courteous to other drivers ...... Its the norm in Ca .... land of the stupid .. happens everyday because of selfish stupid people ... .... Im courteous to a point .. if someone is tailgating me doing 75 mph , in heavy traffic .... Guess what ... No way in hell .... am I going to move so you can be 10ft in front of me stuck in the same traffic .... I will guarantee you that if you are so close I cant see you ...... you better have fast reflexes cuz chances are I wont just tap my breaks .....
That said if Its clear in front of me and I see you coming .... I guarantee I'll move over so I dont inconvenience you ...... I do on to others as Id want done for me ...... Unless you have driven in Ca , I dont think you understand just how many Idiots are behind the wheel ... Liberals are Idiots ... this is a fact , Ca has more liberal Idiots than all the other states combined .... No morals , no values ... no common sense ... just selfishness and utter stupidity ... we cant even have a YEILD on the green sign because so many idiots dont ' know what YEILD means .... no joke ... Can't wait to get outta this place ..... I can't stand Idiots and this place seems to attract them all .............. Spent 4 days driving around Idaho and not once did we run into any drivers like we have here in Ca , sure was nice to drive among others that had the same morals and values I have ... most of the time ..nobody's perfect .... except one and he isn't back yet .. very soon I hope Ca , used to be great until Liberalism run it into the ground ... I like my Freedom an my rights .. I can't stand Liberals /selfish drivers for good reason

 

I think you are very misinformed, seem insecure and need to grow up some.

If I rear end you, and there was no reasonable reason for you to have braked as hard as you did, and it was determined that you braked purposely or as we know it brake checked me and there are damages and injuries, you can and will be held responsible and in some jurisdictions prosecuted.

Case in point...

ARAPAHOE COUNTY - The man who investigators say used his car as a weapon in killing two people on E-470 last month made his first court appearance Wednesday.

If convicted, Jason Reynolds of Parker faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Long time investigators with the Colorado State Patrol say there is no precedent set when it comes to charging an apparent road rage suspect with first-degree murder.

Prosecutors say although Reynolds didn't fire a gun or use a knife, he did turn his car into a weapon. Officials say he became angry with another driver while driving on westbound E-470 on Nov. 8.

Prosecutors report Reynolds slammed on his brakes directly in front of another car, causing a chain of events which killed two men. One man died after his car hit Reynolds' and the other was killed in a car driving the opposite direction.

No bond has been set for Reynolds, so he'll stay in jail until his preliminary hearing on Jan. 30. If he does leave jail, a judge has ruled he cannot drive.

Reynolds has a long history of aggressive driving, according to CSP. Officials sent him a warning letter six weeks before the accident.

 

Epic thread derailment. Op, hows your bumper? Lol

 

Its kind of Par for the course I guess..

 

you cant notice it unless u are actually looking for it, the truck could have actually came this way when I got it as I did buy it as a certified used with 68000km = 42253mi.

Thanks for asking, some people actually care to find the story like yourself, unlike others are quick to jump the gun and assume the situation.

 

Well I found a picture from when I purchased the truck and turns out the bumper was like that when we purchased the truck, I popped the hood and see the bracket that's bent and also the rubber cover is ripped. Should I take it back to the dealer?
