Okay so on the highway here, the speed is 70mph. I do five over all the time, it just feels more natural to me. I don't go any faster, but then I get some a**hole who drives like, two inches away from me so I have to get over into the other lane and let them pass. Sometimes I can't merge over because a truck is beside me, so they sit on my bumper knowing the risk of rear ending me if I were to come to a sudden stop. When they're able to pass me they go about 100 miles an hour and flip me off. It just makes me irritable.

One day I had this lady SO close to me, our two cars could have been considered one. I had a cup of lemonade from sonic in my cupholder, so I opened my sunroof and chucked it back at her windshield. The cup exploded all her over window and she backed off quickly and stayed far away. Another time there was a BMW tailgating me, I had a hamburger, so I threw that out of my sunroof; decorating his windshield with pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard. He also backed off.

I've only done this about 4 times, but I'm a little scared of getting reported, but at the same time, if I don't they could rear end me and do far worse damage. I know I'll get paid if THEY hit ME but I really don't feel like having my car damaged.

Is it normal I deal with these horrible drivers this way? Or is there a simpler solution?

Advice?

    Hmm. I don't think you would want to be responsible for killing someone. Or more in a motorway pile-up.

    My advice? A quick (very light!) tap on the brake pedal will activate your rear red lights. Always works for me: they make some space pretty quickly then.

      I forgot to mention that I also do that and flash my hazards, but this seems to only encourage them to speed up.

    So, potentially killing them is better than having them do serious damage to your car? There are safer ways to dealing with this.

    This always happens to me. When i notice some douche bag tailgating me I either hit the breaks or drive slow then when they try to cut me off i speed up :3 makes me feel good when i put down my window and just smile at their road rage faces

    When you drive in the passing lane and block faster moving cars, YOU are the hazard. And then throwing stuff at other cars!? You are an idiot driver.

    I kind of like this...I keep donuts in the car for cops just in case I get pulled over, then you can throw a few out the window and escape while the cop runs after them.
