07/08/2008 | I give a firm tap on the brakes when I'm getting tailgated in dry weather. More times than not, the person behind me gets the hint and backs off.

03/20/2007 | Tailgating period.!! The standard is on car length for every 10mph! That's so that you can stop if you have to without hitting the car in front of you! This isn't NASCAR for Pete's Sake!

12/17/2006 | Some people seem to forget that the car in front of them can only go as fast as the car that's in front of them . . . and when the weather sucks, it's just not going to go any faster.
Ever want to rant or report these guys? Now you can, apparently: there's a website where you can report bad drivers and what they do ( . . . just don't get overzealous scrambling to find something to write their license plate number on while you're on the road, or you might just find YOURSELF on there!). It's still better to call the police in severe cases, but if you wanna rant: http://www.platewire.com/

03/23/2006 | Oddly, tailgating is one specific moving violation I rarely, if ever, see enforced by law. I don't quite get this, for in my eyes it's just as serious as speeding or any other illegal driving activity - and all the more so during hazardous conditions. Reckless driving is reckless driving, period!

03/23/2006 | Stupid and dangerous, with no justification that shows the perpatrator to be mentally bereft. But I have a little trick I that do: Instead of tapping the brake, I'll drop my car down a gear, and if I have enough room, I'll give the accelerator a quick punch and send a rooster-tail of rain/sleet/or snow on the tools windshield...they usually back off then.

01/01/2006 | Butt-sniffing (as me and numbah sometimes call it) is highly dangerous even in dry conditions. If the guy in front stops short, the guy in back piledrives him. Add in rain, and you can get a multi-car that much faster. Back off, give yourself space, and slow down. How hard is that?

11/30/2005 | Tailgating in any weather is dangerous. Some of my relatives do this, and everytime they do, I anticipate the car in front of me slamming on the brakes. I mean, we all do it at some point, including me. However, there's a difference between following someone closely, and seeing what the car in front of you has up it's hindend.

11/28/2004 | (1= Worst driving habit) This is dangerous, and makes for a dramatic way to die. I've known a few victims.

11/19/2004 | This infuriates me because not only are you putting yourself in danger, but others as well. Tailgaters need to understand that its better to get to your destination alive rather than dead or seriously injured.

09/28/2004 | I am a fast driver, but I make it a point never to tailgate. Besides the fact that it's extraordinarily annoying, it is very dangerous, especially in heavy traffic where one might need to stop quickly. I don't know, I'd rather come out with my neck intact rather than tailgate, especially in rainy weather when the roads are slick.

05/26/2004 | Tailgating, regardless of weather, has to be one of my biggest pet-peaves - right up there with loud people and telemarketers. It's probably not the best way to handle it, but when someone's riding my bumper, I like to slow down to 10, even 20 mph below the speed limit. Works best on single-lane roads.
