Explanation
Tailgating means driving too closely to the vehicle in front of you. This is an aggressive driving behavior and can lead to being ticketed. Worse, it increases the risk of a collision if the other driver makes a sudden stop, as you won’t have enough stopping distance. Tailgating can also frustrate other drivers and contribute to road rage.
