Tailgating is Dangerous and DEADLY. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop tailgating!!!
And the same can be said for cars that are following so close that I thought they were hitched to the back of the trailer.
Courtesy and sense (I won't say "common sense" - I'm beginning to think that is a rare commodity) - and knowledge of the limitations/characteristics of the roads and vehicles on it are helpful.
Most of us want to get to where we are going with ourselves and our vehicles undamaged and with our tempers under control
I wish driving courses could/would include more simulations of bad driving conditions.
The 55 Alive driving education is helpful - up to a point - but also could be more thorough.
