3. Sadly, I have seen two accidents caused by tailgaters

To be honest, I put safety before pride. I get just as mad at the fools who do not move out of the way and drive slow and block tailgaters as I do at the tailgaters. My rule is, anyone who looks unsafe, get out of the way and let them go far away from me.

I see people who can't stay in a lane and wave in and out. I move as far away as I can and let them go way in front of me. Its just not worth it.

I understand the desire to be a jerk back to someone who is a jerk and tailgates, but I encourage everyone to just back off and let the jek go. Seen too much pain and death from accidents.

I really hate people who drive like that! CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2015 #1
