so i happened to be coming down the highway after making an airport run. car is full and everyone having a good time. the road is clear and i'm on the right side of the road ( yes i know i not supposed to be there but i was there). out of nowhere i see these flashing white lights behind me coming up quickly. so i'm like ok the left lane is clear so whoever is speeding can see me from a distance hit the left lane and be on their way. didn't know that it was an idiot in action. he was driving a silver tiida, and ran literally right up on my bumper with lights flashing. unfortunately for him he wasn't the police as they are the only ones i shift left for under flashing blue lights and flashing headlights. so i stayed on the right. no biggie right? as i said the road is clear and the left lane is free. i would have just taken the left and be on my way. so after he spends the greater part from before couva to near forres park overpass behind me he decides to shoot in front of me. now i eh chupid. i know exactly what he was going to do, which was stomp on his brakes. so i just eased off the gas and slowed down as he pulled just ahead of me and as he swerved in front of me i was far enough away that when he hit brake he almost spun out. then he stayed in the middle of the road expecting some retaliation and then drove off. have no time for them and that nonsense.
I like your strategy. I release the gas as well but i do it when they are tailgating behind me and sometimes i speed up when they pull on the side if i feel they are going to cut me off or do something risky but generally they do slow down. Never encountered that scenario where they hit the brake. Will keep that in mind.
