[quote=spdrun]I said “a gear or two.” The point is to vary distance by a foot or two, making the tailgater uncomfortable without him knowing exactly WHY he’s uncomfortable. It generally works.[/quote]
Exactly, a gear or two, which to me, means if you wanna be a real punk ass, you’ll down shift 2 gears, let go of the gas, and slow down 10-20MPH w/in a few seconds. That’s what would happen if you did that with my car. Down shifting 2 gears will NOT vary the distance by a foot or two. To do that, I just let of the gas.
