Explanation
Following the vehicle ahead very closely can be dangerous for several reasons. Firstly, tailgating reduces your ability to see what is happening ahead of the vehicle you are following. This can make it difficult to anticipate changes in traffic conditions and react accordingly. Additionally, tailgating can increase the risk of a collision if the vehicle in front suddenly brakes or stops.
