Explanation
Tailgating means following another vehicle too closely without leaving enough stopping distance. This is dangerous because it increases the risk of a rear-end collision if the vehicle in front stops suddenly. Tailgating can also frustrate the driver ahead, potentially leading to road rage or aggressive behavior. Always maintain a safe following distance to reduce the risk of a crash and ensure everyone's safety on the road.
