Glen,

    I'm confused, you received a laser warning and pulled *the handbrake*?
Whafor? Wouldn't pulling the handbrake sidestep the brake lights giving the
tailgater little to no reaction time to go around you and also decrease the
amount of braking action that 4 wheel braking (vs. one wheel) would
provide? Sounds like an awful risk to me.

Anyhows, just as I passed under the
roundabout Westbound the V1 lit up. I grabbed a handful of handbrake
and the tailgater zigged safely around me. He slowed enough as he
went around me that I saved him too (bummer!).
