yes, I agree tailgating is a bad habit indeed. On july 1, I was passing a car that was tailgating another, when that vehicle decided to pass also! He bumped me off the road, and in regaining it, out of control, I smashed into a new Mercedes with my little pickup. My truck was totalled because the tailgaiter was so close to the car in front of him that he didn't even pay any attention to the area around him,resulting in a massive ticket for himself and a trail of wreckage for the innocent victims.
