Default Re: Following Too Closely

How often do people run right up onto your rear bumper?
Not very often- I can count as many times, less than one hand last year.

Quote:
Do you find it annoying that they're tailgating you?
Yes, they're usually COPS on patrol. COPS carry tickets for what ever reason they seem fit. They're trolling for drunks in the middle of the night...and they notice my extraordinary driving patterns.

Do you fear they're going to smack right into you at times?
Yes. Had to dive into a Left turn only lane once for a COP tailgating, only to be pulled over for "illegal lane usage" (No ticket was issued)

Quote:
Do your Spidey senses start tingling when you see those headlights come up behind you so close?
No not really. If that happens they are a very poor driver, and will tailgate the next poor SAP that gets in their way.

Courtesy on the road is my #1 consideration, but I'm not going to be a dog-kicking wife-beating nose-picking nuts next victim either.

Efficient drivers do it better.
1003 miles a tank personal record. 74MPG calculated. HCH1 CVT
