Tailgating

Something I absolutely hate while driving. There is no reason for it and it is very dangerous. Vicroads teaches to leave a 2 second gap from the car in front, but who can estimate 2 seconds while driving at 100km/hr? It is much better to use a rule of thumb which is 1 car length for every 10km/hr of speed, plus 50% more if the road is wet.

Cool

Tailgating is usually brought on when you travel at less than the posted limit, if you can and do stay close to the limit and some person decides to travel unreasonably close to the rear of your car, it only takes a few seconds to slow right down and make his/her distance safe. if there's room let the Pain in the B*** Pass, if not Don't worry if he/she sounds his/her horn, It hurts much less than an accident. with a little luck they will speed past into the path of a speed cam... If you are courteous on the road a lot less people get frustrated. Oh and for All you People out there who think you Own the Road : Having Traffic tickets is not investing in the Highway... Just the Highway Robbers (Speed Police...)
