99% of the time, people tailgate because they don't realize that following at half a car length is bad form.
You mean, they're stoopid?
Um, yeah.
I'll never forget my experience having a woman following closely behind me, weaving back and forth, gesturing angrily, and obviously shouting as I followed a fully loaded dump truck doing the speed limit on a two lane road.
I'd never seen her before, but it was obviously my fault that she was going to be late to work.
We reached the turn off for the interstate, and the dump truck shifted over into the right lane to get on the highway. I watched the other driver continue her angry rant as she swerved to the right and raced up next to me.
She was so focused on me she almost ran into the back of the dump truck. I have to admit, I was disappointed when she braked in time, but I did get to enjoy seeing her following the dump truck up the entrance ramp at 35 MPH.
I'm gonna fire up the voodoo and get all of you cursed to follow a gaggle of spandex clad cyclists for eternity.
And no, they should not be wearing the spandex
