One of my biggest pet peeves is Tailgaters , I was taught to leave at least one car length between myself and the next car. Safety is the reason I was given. The "gaters" will leave 3 feet and that is dangerous and irritates me also.
The other pet peeve is the "gaters" at the red light will leave 3 car lengths between them and the next car....I was taught to leave 6 feet here , more cars can pass through on the green cycle.
People need to realize they shouldn't tailgate !
" I did nothing wrong"....yes you did ...you were tailgating and most people don't like it. Show some care and caution.
