Regarding the guy who was wondering how best to brace for rear-end impact after he brakes suddenly in city traffic… you knuckleheads! Why entertain this question? If this guy is slamming to a halt and cringing in his rear view on a daily basis, he is clearly an aggressive driver who is following t…

If he’s concerned about being hit from the rear, he’s not the one who’s tailgating.

He’s concerned about being hit from behind because of someone else following too closely. He can’t do anything about that. What he can do is reduce the likelihood of needing to slow down quickly, which can be done by not following too closely. When I’m followed closely, I increase my own followin…

He's concerned about being hit from behind because of someone else following too closely. He can't do anything about that.If he's concerned about having to brake suddenly in traffic, it sounds like he's not leaving enough room between himself and the car in front of him either.

This conversation seems a bit clouded. Sure I might advance my mph a few when getting tailgated, grudgingly so, but remember when I was in a hurry and speed limit or 5 below of the guy in front of me was a tad aggravating. I only have one incident of road rage, I was going 10 over and a guy decides …

Stop tailgating ?? Dude, stop sandbagging ! 50 % of the time I can clearly see the fault is with the vehicle IN FRONT. It may not be a matter of tailgating but an issue of …sandbagging. Just this morning – I thought of this post–. The light turns green and nine vehicles zoom off toward thier re…

Yep the driver in front can clearly tell when they are the boulder in the river, push on the gas a bit and coordinate with the traffic. California will write the citation to the sandbagger in front.

push on the gas a bit and coordinate with the traffic. And the person behind him…just pushes on the gas pedal a little to keep tailgating.

"50 % of the time I can clearly see the fault is with the vehicle IN FRONT. " “I don’t see how it could possibly be the vehicle IN FRONT’s fault.” It could be the car in front’s fault if the car in front violated the tailing car’s Right of Way to get in front. Case in point: 4-lane road comes t…

and further more ; The vehicle in front is at fault ( did you read my example where I was the fault in front ? ) when they clearly know the traffic situation and CHOOSE to create the circumstance of mere feet between their rear bumper and your front. The vehicle behind is at fault when the clearl…

50 % of the time I can clearly see the fault is with the vehicle IN FRONT.

I don’t see how it could possibly be the vehicle IN FRONT’s fault. Car in front of you going slow…then you need to slow down too. You are the only one who can maintain proper distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. Car in front slows down…then you slow down.
