Explanation
Tailgating is a dangerous driving behavior where a driver follows another vehicle at an unsafe distance. This can cause frustration and anger in the driver being tailgated. When a driver is too close to the vehicle in front, it creates a stressful and unsafe situation, as it reduces the time available to react to any sudden changes or emergencies. Tailgating can lead to rear-end collisions and escalate tensions on the road.
