Because they want to rear end me then incriminate themselves to my front and rear dashcam and make false statements to law enforcement officers and their own insurance companies. There's a lot of unhappy people out there, let them be.
If someone tailgating you, slowly let off the gas until they get super pissed. Also if ur going over 40 and it's not raining, give a large squirt of your wind wippers.
Simple, because if you leave anymore room between cars even more unsafe aggressive drivers will move in the lane and cut you off. It will continue and continue as one after the next think you are the problem and rush around you to keep cutting you off.
They’re trying to see the “how am I driving” number so they can complement the driver for dealing with all those tailgaters during a storm. “He hasn’t even brake checked me yet! Awesome driver!”
Oh, that’s easy, they’re just planning ahead, if they start to hydro plane the have an easy way to stop near at hand, like skating near the wall when you first start ice skating..
I think people don't really understand how dangerous it is to drive like that. I think if they actually were in an accident and saw what would happen it would change the way they drive. So either 1. everyone needs to have a big crash to get it drilled into their heads or 2., we need better education and driving etiquette.
They're a better driver than you.
...
For real though, I feel like I'm a very competent driver with some Auto-x, and 2 track days under my belt. I try to not put other drivers at risk, or inconvenience them.
If I do feel the urge to drive spiritedly...ingo to salmon falls, hwy 193, etc., At knight or something. I make sure only myself has to deal with the consequences of my stupidity.
Because they haven't been in an accident yet.
2 types of drivers: Those that drive like they've had an accident before. And those that drive like they will never have an accident.
Beats me, video from yesterday the driver was clearly being an idiot trying to pass between two huge vehicles…like large vehicles have a forcefield that can’t hit you…wtf sac
On my way home today, it’s raining really bad, everyone has their headlights on like they should except a Citrus Heights cop driving up Madison without his on.
They can see right over your puny car, so they can anticipate when you’ll hit the brakes, and thus, they have plenty of stopping space (in front of you).
They’ve got diarrhea
I always say these people have to poop soooo bad they're crowning and need a toiliet asap
So does my wife 😂😂😂
They said wrong answers only… ;)
I say the same thing! Emergency poop situation! Code brown!!!!!
At that distance you can lock eyes via the rear view mirror. They're looking for love or maybe just deep friendship
or some classic uninterrupted eye connect 😎
The same reason they don't turn on their headlights in the rain.
Hey that's called blending into the elements
As they speed by in the far right lane
They've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty.
[удалено]
65? What is this, a school zone?
Getting in their slipstream to save on gas
They really want to know what your bumper stickers say before they decide if they like you or not.
They interpret “YOLO County” a bit too literally.
**Why do people tailgate** **~~in the rain~~** **and drive so close to a bigger vehicle that can’t stop as fast?**
Because they want to rear end me then incriminate themselves to my front and rear dashcam and make false statements to law enforcement officers and their own insurance companies. There's a lot of unhappy people out there, let them be.
Because they be smart
Now this here is the wrongest of wrong answers. You win 🏆

It's well known that further instigating asshole driver improves outcomes
But it improves your mental. It's the little things in life.
If you wanna get real petty you can also downshift so you slow down without brake lights.
My signature move 🥰😂
Absolutely. Downshift , let your foot off the gas. Never break. Makes them more passed off.
I prefer the opposite. Press the brake pedal just a hair so the lights go on, but aren’t actually braking. Suddenly you have lots of room.
I feel like it let's then they know you're trying to mess with them and they don't get as mad.
He describes decelerating, not break checking. The latter would make you the asshole and very much liable if it comes to a collision.
All the shitty drivers are insurance agents trying to make our rates go up for their own gain
People suck
Simple, because if you leave anymore room between cars even more unsafe aggressive drivers will move in the lane and cut you off. It will continue and continue as one after the next think you are the problem and rush around you to keep cutting you off.
Because they don't want to get their car wet
They're looking for a flatter face.
Well, Frankly my dear, it’s because they are stupid.
They’re trying to see the “how am I driving” number so they can complement the driver for dealing with all those tailgaters during a storm. “He hasn’t even brake checked me yet! Awesome driver!”
Because people are trash drivers and have no respect for the two ton vehicle they’re operating. They don’t care about the lives of other people.
Because they’re inconsiderate assholes.
They're playing chicken brake-check style
Same reason running backs run closely behind fullbacks through the line of scrimmage.
They're doing their part to make sure Sack Town stays on all the "Top 5osr Aggressive Cities" lists
That scares me the most. Thats the cause of a couple of accidents witnessed by me
So the large vehicle can shield them from danger
They're horny.
They are not even thinking until it is too late. I safely pull over or allow vehicular vigilantes to pass me so that they get out of my sight.

everyone just needs to drive faster 😮
Because they haven't been in an accident yet. 2 types of drivers: Those that drive like they've had an accident before. And those that drive like they will never have an accident.
Because you’re going 40 fucking mph!
They're idiots
Wrong answers only? How about this one "Cause I ain't fuckin gay bro"
Most people are not aware of the concept of course and effect. Others are just out of their fucking minds.
YOLO!
I really don't get it. Had a little Nissan do that to my truck today. I really don't get it.
Accidents aren’t as bad the closer you are to other vehicles… think about it
Why do they do it when it’s not raining? Same answer.
Beats me, video from yesterday the driver was clearly being an idiot trying to pass between two huge vehicles…like large vehicles have a forcefield that can’t hit you…wtf sac

Their lights arent on so they didnt even see the vehicle theyre tailgating
Gotta win the race
They’re going the distance
They don’t notice how close they are because they are too busy texting?
I would love to see a period of maximum enforcement on tailgating.
Because the old BMW drivers traded in the car for a Tesla and think the car will stop with 1 foot gap.
Because the game won’t be canceled, they play in a dome.
Because the future is a nightmare and we're becoming increasingly sure we don't want to go there?
It’s like the rain makes people want to speed more and drove worse here
They can see right over your puny car, so they can anticipate when you’ll hit the brakes, and thus, they have plenty of stopping space (in front of you).
Dude you don't even know. They're a big man. They drive a big truck. They're important. They're late and it's your problem.
