+1 On stangs tailgating. I wired my fog lights to act as faux brake lights so others back off.

Absolutely, no two ways about it - Mustangs are the worst. Same thing when I'm on my Speed Triple. Every Mustang wants to see how fast you are and they think nothing of tailgating a motorcycle. I can't count how many times they've been dangerously close, at speed. ****s. Not just the new ones either. Just about any model from 2000 to current.

No excuse for tailgating a motorcycle, that's just not right.

I haven't had very good luck with brake lights or slowing down. But swerving back and forth suddenly makes them back off 95% of the time. They don't want to be too close behind a crazy driver.
