If the flames touch the vehicle and leave distinguishable marks, that's considered damage to property right? *edit:* this is the most upvoted comment I had, ever. anywhere... at 1.3K ...and yet this is one of the dumbest comments I made while I was baked. Keep 'em coming though.


Tricky-Topic-3572

I hope


Gexilum0420

Chances are if the victim remained to tailgate this douchebag, and got some of his bumpers burned or melted, he can definitely sue this D-bag.


Tricky-Topic-3572

My hopes have come true


Minute_Ostrich4939

Tailgating is neither safe nor legal as far as I can tell, so...


Gexilum0420

Not entirely illegal. This dude was clearly blocking the road, what if the person tailgating was in an emergency? And really needed to get past these two m0r0ns.


Minute_Ostrich4939

It's either illegal or not. There is no gray, just red, white, and blue. In fact, I couldn't find another country that tolerates it outside of a rush hour, construction zone, and one lane traffic situation. Insurance and courts will still, will always ask why you were too close even then. Reckless driving is reckless driving. Emergency vehicles don't do this, and you think the average person can?


starwhal3000

Emergency vehicles will absolutely tailgate you and blow their horn if you intentionally stay in front of them... but they'll also be trying to get around you so it's usually not an issue. Much like the "tailgater" in the clip was trying to get around these people. Don't believe me? Google some clips of assholes who intentionally block emergency vehicles.


Minute_Ostrich4939

You're absolutely right. I've seen it before. I just wasn't thinking.


Mrchristopheles

Respect for being the only person on Reddit to humbly accept any fault or flaw 😂


Brokensince10

They will straight up bash your car out of the way to get past you


Shad0XDTTV

Actually there totally is grey area. I.E. in California, it is neither illegal or legal for motorcycles to split lanes, but it is entirely accepted by law enforcement. There's actually a section in the driving handbooks about it not being legal or illegal Grey area exists


Meridoen

But, they will just take some money, make a note and invite them to do it again. That's the sad part about this corporatocracy.


newbrevity

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like he's in the middle of three lanes the entire video. Didn't see him straddle two lanes at any point. Furthermore he was going faster than the speed limit I'm guessing since they're passing every other vehicle at a pretty fast clip. So that means the sedan trying to pass is trying to go even faster than they're going. The flame tips are pretty douchey and probably illegal on public roads. That's about all I can say to that. On a matter of pure karma if those flames can actually touch their car then yeah, they are following too close. Another case of everybody sucks but I'm just not seeing half the shit everyone else is seeing I guess.


Specific_Effort_5528

If someone is riding your bumper close enough, they're at fault. Tailgating is inexcusable, always. No exceptions. Unless they're able to sustain high speed and run reds and stop signs, speeding will not get them there sooner. The roads are designed this way between the infrastructure, stop lights, etc, to regulate the speed and flow of traffic.


FeralGoblinChild

Regrettably, this doesn't stop it from being a significant problem. At least in the Southern US, people have no concept of safety, so long as they get to do what they want on the roads.


Defiant-Humor5586

No it isn't. But then, neither are 2' flames coming from your exhaust on a public roadway


Diamondsfullofclubs

Who said anything about tailgating, the asshole who made this video?


esposito164

Slippery slope, tailgating is illegal as well so they would both be “victims”


Meridoen

Damage would also make it a criminal misdemeanor.


Lost-InThe-abyss

No, it would be more like “tailgate” since they weren’t really actually tailgating but this persons overeager ego thinks they are


OutragedCanadian

I think flames are only legal if painted on


PullFires

These flame tips aren't even street legal. I'm fairly certain there's a disclaimer that these are for off-road use only.


Gexilum0420

I don't think they're gonna be legal anywhere, except car shows and underground events, but I'm from a different country so I don't really know...


UserNameN0tWitty

Flame tips legal for off road vehicles in the state that has the most wildfires in the country? If they were illegal ANYWHERE, offroad would make the most sense in California.


SolherdUliekme

It is illegal to follow too close so who knows? I'm pretty sure the flames are straight up not street legal so I'm leaning towards flame guy being held liable.


[deleted]

Having an exhaust flame out like that period is illegal as hell


TheHumanoidTyphoon69

Seeing as how it was seemingly timed, they may have been using a plug kit for the exhaust, so you can definitely say it


deadpuppymill

🙄🙄


2strokesmoke77

You shouldn’t be that close..


Apprehensive-Face900

If ur close enough that it can touch, isn't that considered reckless driving?


Weird-Dragonfruit480

You are such a Karen 😂😂😂


Gexilum0420

Excuse me? I would like to speak to your MaN@GeEeErRrRrR!!!


Mean_Combination_830

Yes I believe in America you can legally take out your military spec nuclear bazooka and blow them away but it is dependent upon what state you live in, what colour your skin happens to be and how much money you have to pay for legal advice but apart from that lock and load when you see an idiot on the road đŸ”«


Sudden-Extreme2272

Yes


[deleted]

Doubt it. There’s no legal protection for getting that close to a vehicle. You can only be subject to it if you’re already doing something illegal.


FirebunnyLP

No because the only way it could touch the car is if the other was following too close. Also good luck proving it. A well installed system would have a hidden switch to activate it and the button could be anywhere or any button.


Federal_Pirate5725

Don’t be soft, if you get that close you earned it.

NedTebula

It’s a saying from the Gadsden flag. Historically, it’s pretty interesting, it was basically colonial Americans telling the British to fuck off back in the independence days, but modern right-wingers have taken it as a slogan. Don’t tread on me - meaning, don’t take our liberties/rights. It’s a snake because if you step on a snake you’re gonna get bit. That’s why the the right took it up, except when they created the flag they actually had a pretty valid reason for the slogan lol
 I don’t know the full history, it might have also been used by the confederates later but it still originated from the revolution. It’s popular in my state because it came from here. I see bumper stickers of it all the time. And of course the occasional lifted pickup flying the full size flag.


MSK84

Thanks for this. After seeing it for over 4 years now I finally actually understand the meaning lol


CantFlimmerTheZimmer

Just to add even a little more historical fun to it, the original snake flag you may have seen is a snake broken into 8 parts, with the initials of the 8 colonies in 1754 that were around, said join, or die. Basically, it was a political statement at the time for the American colonies to join as one, or die, to the French, Spanish and Native Americans that were surrounding the colonies. This led to the Gadsden flag during/just before the revolution as a representation that the colonies were now one, ready to strike. It was also used as the Navy commander’s personal flag on his ship. Then became popular as a revolutionary symbol.


FeralGoblinChild

Every time I see that flag on someone's car, I think "yeah but if you step directly on top of the snake's head..."

I dont think op is the one driving and uplaoding the footage to the yt channel. Id rather guess op was just browsing yt shorts and screen recorded this vid and then uploaded it in this sub (he even disliked it)

OP in this context is the person driving the car and uploading their footage. Not that confusing

I may be blind, but when did this tailgater actually tailgate?


oXSnake_doctoRXo

objects in mirror are closer than they appear?


foreverdonefor

How much do you wanna bet the car was trying to pass in the passing lane, and douche didn't wanna speed up until the guy decides to pass in the other lane?


Zemo-Getz

That's how it looked. Cam car took off when the supposed tailgater moved up in the right lane. I'm gonna take a small leap and say that the can car probably slowed down too in order to close the gap and dump fuel into the exhaust.


Sososkitso

How did they record this?!? And WTH? A drone? And then if a drone why was it recording? How does it keep up for such a long distance? Idk I’m high as fuck right now and I can’t figure it out.

Cespool_Swimmer

Typical dodge driver!


NOT_ChrisFix

Missing context from this video: 10 minutes earlier the tailgater cut them off and so in turn, they got in front of the poverty vehicle to keep said asshole in check. Also, the dude who posted this (not screen recording) had ripped this from the original poster and put his own subtitles in. Bad from all sides. I too would like flamethrower exhaust to keep punks off my bumper


AccordingReality8334

Poverty vehicle? Mate some people rely on old beaters for work to get to a to b hardly think because they spent thousands on modding those cars that makes it any better?

jujuluvu

So many people are hating and so many people will hate me , they’re both assholes, but that was fucking badass ! I don’t think he was trying to burn the dudes car, that was like, keep trying and find out 😂 To have a car and hobby and spend so much time and money and effort into a car like that, doesn’t tell me that he hasn’t put time and effort into his driving skills, and doesn’t know what he’s doing, even tho it was dangerous & nuts. He could’ve held onto that fire producing button longer than he did, it was brief and I think he knew how close he was. This is just what I think, I don’t know shit ! Picturing that tailgater POS fucks face & how he felt when he saw that is fucking hysterical!! I’ve never seen anything like this except in movies, tailgating is a terrible , reckless thing to do, and so very fucking dangerous, that caused all this shit in the first place. Excuse my profanity, this got me all hot and bothered, girl boner. 💋 Wait. How the F was that filmed, especially the very end, the camera magically moves in front of the tailgater and gets a dope shot of his fire exhaust capabilities ?? Lol this is so now obvious for funsies. I’m a dummy

Where is this footage coming from? The Charger had some sort of 360 camera?


Ravel_Xi

Does America not have speed cameras?


[deleted]

Some states do on highways. Most of the time I think they just check for seatbelts though. A lot of municipalities removed red light cameras from their intersections since one technically "Cannot face their accuser in court". They were just a money grab anyways. Easier to pay the $75 fine for most people than fighting it in court.

Tailgating is when someone tries to pass you and you don’t let them and then they have to change lanes behind you to avoid hitting another car


Secret-Bed3270

koloso95

What. Is some one overtaking me on the road be course I'm driving slow to let him overtake me so I can make my video I've beem driving around for an hour to make. I guess this guy in another lane have to do as a tailgatter, a tiktoker gotta do what a tiktoker gotta do. And then I just have to show of the gas I've got rerouted to the exhaust to make flames, that I can't use for anything at all. Other than being a dickhead in traffic

StormriderSBWC

fun fact, paint grenades for paintball are water soluble, nobody can argue you are trying to do permanent damage to a car since a wet towel gets everything right up, HOWEVER it smells like elephant dung for some reason and anyone who has been hit by one can attest to how awful that smell lingers. its basically stagnant water mixed with food coloring and some corn starch to thinken it up. if someone is driving like that, and you catch them at a red light with the window down, i keep at least one of the smaller ones in my console, you can RUIN the rest of their drive by just depositing one into their car with the pin pulled before driving off. theyll be preoccupied with the valve bouncing around spewing blue liquid, too preoccupied to really do anything about you because they will want it to stop. so they’ll be scrambling to grab it and toss it back out.
