Ozark Huckleberry Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 Tailgating really doesn’t change my driving style much, other than increase my following distance and be more aware of what’s happening on the road in front of me. Those tactics give the guy behind me more time to react so he doesn’t hit my car. I’ve rarely seen slowing down or break-checking convince a tailgater to back off; from what I’ve seen, it’s more likely to inspire road rage. If it’s so much of a problem it worries me, I’ll do what I need to do (e.g., pull over) to let him around me. 3 Quote

Until the dumb@$$ decides to pass you in a no passing zone and now you are trying to avoid not only the tailgater but the poor oncoming vehicle as well. 3 Quote
