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.

I also get annoyed not only by tailgaiters but also those who have to dive into the space you've left between your vehicle and the one in front. When regularly towing horses it was a big problem as I would give myself plenty of room to stop only to have to slam on the brakes because some idiot decided to get in front.
