Folowing the discussions on this thread about people getting their tailpipe run over and dangerous situations caused by tailgaters leads me to wonder if:

1. People are unwilling to change old habits
2. People are overly sensitive about the person behind (I used to be)
3. Pride on the road...for example some people I work with say they could never stand going a little slower and have all those cars passing them.
4. Are other driver attitudes here in rural, suburbia and busy Atlanta (Ga in general) vastly different than most other areas regarding tailgaing and courtesy?

I admit since I've began driving for FE I've only went as far away as Panama City FL and Charleston SC and parts of NC and So. TN but I didn't see much difference.

Perhaps the general attitude in the North, Central and Western U.S. is different than my area?

I know Wayne drove his Insight through these parts last year and I wonder if he noticed any difference?

Believe me this is not a jab or flame post but I'm really at a loss here.
People really don't bother me and I don't bother them.

Sure I get an occasional jerk behind but after he passes he's right behind his next victim.

Efficient drivers do it better.
