i had some idjit tailgate me so closely this morning that i
couldn't see the car's headlights (can we say "death wish?").
i dunno what hisser motivation was, as i was already going 65
in a 55. i tried the brake tap technique (unfortunately, it
was pitch black out, so i couldn't see hisser reaction). it
worked well, though s/he crept back up a couple more times.
not a bad result (trained in only three repetitions!), so i
think i'll keep using this technique.

and speaking of idjit drivers, i had a near-miss yesterday.
i needed to turn off onto a side road that teed into the main
road. i put my blinkers on and slowed down. then, as i was
turning, i nearly hit the maroon who had been behind me, who
decided to turn onto the same side road without waiting for me
to turn first. oye. temporary insanity is my guess.

Its that time of year. Christmas may bring out the warmth in people but it
comes at the expense of working braincells.
