Tailgating 6 inches behind my Car.

porsche168's picture

At 630am this morning I was Tailgated 6 inches behind my Car by a Dutch guy driving a deep blue/purplish Jeep Nitro. I was on C-ring going towards Toyota showroom. This guy is a looney endangering mine and my family's life tailgating my SUV at 80kph, and the rest of the other lanes were clear at that time!! Not long after that he drove to the right going to the airport. He seems to be 'rough' & gangster type of person. So watch out for him....

A guy tried that with me this morning as well, and I was doing 80km. I just slowed down and wouldn't switch lanes. He seemed to enjoy that, kept flashing his lights at me. Think he was making a pass? :P

Its elementary! he was wearing the wooden clogs and chewing on a big piece of Edam. the clogs weer probably weer a little too heavy for the accelerator that's why he was tailgating..

If everyone started a thread each time they were tail-gated by someone I think the QL servers would crash!

And how the frick did you know he was Dutch?

And how do you know if the nationality is Dutch? I cant differenciate someone nationality by looking at the car mirror. Although i can say 'caucasian', 'arabic', 'asian' looking. But no way i can say someone is Dutch / American by looking at the car's mirror.

King Edshel said Morning guys ... ...

the last time someone tailgated me we end up in the Traffic Department ... just a small accident but it just made really my day ...

I saw someone who was far dangerous than that, he kept on flashing and flashing but the poor guy needs to go left so he overtake him and then got back in front of him and stop the car like the idiot in the middle of the lane and went out of the car fighting with him ... for what? I don't know ...

Some people do it to read what posters you got on the back of your car, always happen when someone who does not know QL Ads, will advertise his car for sale fixing a small piece of paper there ...

Some will do it while drinking their cup of coffee to make sure that they would hit no one else but you ...

porsche168 - Relax. This isn't tailgating, it's known as 'slipstreaming'. Very common in Doha and in Formula 1 (did you know FIA accepts Qatar License as an alternative to F1 super license?)

If you go to a supermarket car park -DON'T LEAVE YOUR TROLLEYS RIGHT BEHIND MY CAR!!!! Put them in an empty bay or where there are no cars you lazy sods! The guys who take them back to the shops are not at your beck and call every second of the day.

Yesterday I crashed into not one but two trolleys left right behind my car, could not see them as they were below the level of the rear window. Villagio Mall people - you know who you are!

Not Peace to the lazy d***heads.

just had to get that off my chest'
