1) Usually found around sporting events, they involve beer drinking and BBQ from the back of a pickup truck or SUV.
2) The car that is so close to you in the rear that you can barely see it's headlights. Some people like to quickly brake to scare them off. Pretty annoying, but it's better to move to the right. Nobody likes a Left Lane Dick... unless there is no right lane. In that case, it's time for a Skid Contest.

1) Before the football game, we had a tailgate party with beers and BBQ.
2) I was driving down the sidestreet at 40 and that guy was still tailgating me. So, I 'noticed' a 'cat' on the road and slammed my brakes.

Get the tailgating mug.The result of tailgating. The driver who is being tailgated slams his brakes, usually randomly, to spook the tailgater. They have a 'contest' to see who ends up skidding further.
Hmm, that guy is still riding up my tail. Whoa, is that a kid about to see jump onto the street? *slam* *screeeech*

Get the skid contest mug.1) A point in your car, usually part of your vehicle chassis, that blocks sight when you are trying to get your surroundings.
2) When a large behemoth vehicle, usually a minivan, SUV, or pickup truck with a rear cabin, is parked next to you, making it hard, if at all possible, to see any oncoming traffic. They may also be the large vehicle on the left or right when you are at an intersection attempting to make a turn.

1) You should configure your rearview mirrors to eliminate as much blindspot as possible.
2) I couldn't see the oncoming traffic because some moron parked his Expedition right near the intersection.

Get the blindspot mug.At night, a car that usually has a dark paint job, and no headlights on. It can literally come out of nowhere, as it is nothing but a silhouette of a vehicle.
I nearly got rammed by that silhouette when I was trying to make a left at midnight... stupid drunks.

Get the silhouette mug.On a multi-lane road (usually a highway or mainstreet), lane drifting is when a car suddenly begins 'drifting' over the lanes, usually because the driver isn't paying attention, or cannot see the lanes because they aren't painted well enough.
Usually they'll hover between two lanes, going the speed limit, and holding up traffic in both lanes.

I was stuck going 65 because the guy infront of me was lane drifting between the left lane and center lane, and was apparently oblivious to the chorus of car horns being layed upon him.

Get the lane drifting mug.A car's turning signal. Cars sold in New England may as well have these as optional instead of standard, because few people use them.
That guy decided to turn on his left blinka after he had been sitting in the middle of the road while the traffic behind him stood dumbfounded for about half a minute.

2) The car in back of you always wants to go faster.

4) There is never traffic until you reach the stop sign.
5) When you are in a hurry, everyone is on a joy ride.
6) When you are looking for an address, everyone is in a hurry.
7) Bugs, salt, and other grime on the windshield are attracted to the area directly infront of your line of sight.
8) If a car in the other lane is hovering between you and the car infront of you, he wants to switch, even though...
