    this is honestly why I day dream about commuting in an Abrams tank during my commute. 6/10 times I’m being tailgated it’s a big ass truck. the other 4/10 are usually something like a Beamer that can’t fathom that… traffic happens.

    65 tons of “Freedom” causes people to back off… I’d imagine… (the other slightly more realistic thought is getting a windshield-fluid tank and pump, setting a nozzle to squirt back and up. Load it with something like stink bombs.)

      The issue with the latter approach is that in some regions of some states, you’re liable to get shot if you try something like that.

        Oh. That’s not the draw back. The draw back is when it causes them to veer into other cars creating a massive accident.

        Liability is a bitch.
