I've come to believe that, for the most part, tailgaters are just incredibly stupid. How many times have we all seen 10 or more cars in the high speed lane, doing 75 in a 65 zone, bumpers inches from the guy ahead. Almost as if they are trying to help the second car in the lineup push the lead car to go faster.
I regret asking a fella in a mediocre well used van why he had been tailgating me, I mean right on my _ss. And all the while he simply could've moved to the passing lane and passed me, easily. We came to a red light and I got out, walked back to him, and asked. I swear, his answer was "because you are not staying far enough ahead of me."
