Tailgating is a leading cause of car crashes. [youtube=http://youtu.be/7eUgwVV5WJE]
With a lot of talk about not using your phone while driving I want to shine spotlight on tailgating. It is something people do that angers me to my core. When you tailgate you are basically neglecting to honor the lives in front of you. Because if those people have to stop suddenly you will more then likely hit them.
If you are traveling at high speeds you will likely severly injure or kill them.
When you are being tailgated remain calm, according to Wiki you are supposed to pull to the right and let someone pass you.
Unfortunately this happens to me in the right hand lane of a freeway that most people are going 75 MPH on. It makes for a horribly dangerous situation and that is why a tow truck sits at the top of the highway, just waiting.
It's sickening.
Where are you going to that you feel it necessary to threaten lives with your vehicle?
There is so much public outrage over the bombing that just happened in Boston and the use of handguns. Yet, car crashes surpass these death tolls by a lot.
Yet we are not outraged.
We seem to have taken a "ah shucks, that's just fate" attitude towards it.
Tailgating is highly aggressive. I suggest talking to your family about respecting human lives while we drive and leaving space.
Stay safe on the roads.
