He lost it and ended up doing a 720 spin tagging each corner of his truck twice against the cement barriers. Suspect he does not tailgate anymore. I'm sure he had some 'splainin to do to his wife

Most people seem to operate in nothing is my fault mode so his explaining was probably something like "This madman slammed on his brakes in front of me FOR NO REASON! what a maniac!"

Unfortunately that is probably the case. But he had a pretty scraped up truck to remind him of his silliness. I should have just quickly moved aside but man it gets old with big vehicles tailgating.

Were you in the left lane? Cars would come behind you in the left lane not at 75mph but at 175mph in Europe, left lane is is strictly for flying and passing lol , i dont think break checking him was the right thing to do

Cops in the US have them all scared to go 5mph over the speed limit, for fear they'll be pulled from their car at gunpoint, lol. So ...not much reason to clear the left lane there. In Canada, there are so many ppl that drive only the limit or lower in the left lane...it's maddening. We even have signs in some areas that say "slower traffic keep right"...guess there's too many that can't read English or are too busy checking their phone. Rant over.

Was in Pittsburgh in US in passing lane with 60 mph speed limit. Was passing a line of cars.

I guess I'm in the minority. I use mine in heavy rain or fog.

You DO have to have your headlights on for them to work, unless you have your headlights in auto. Then hitting just the fog button will turn on your lights AND your rear fogs.
