Inattentive tailgaters shouldn't be accommodated. Sure, their problem becomes your problem when you brake hard, but I'd much rather be rear-ended (with head rests and the whole rear of the car as a crumple zone) than plow head on into a stationary object at high speed.
- MBCook 8y agoIf the car in front of me doesn’t stop until it’s too late (or at all) it doesn’t matter how attentive I am, I probably can’t stop in time either. Most of the time I can’t see past the car in front of me. It’s too tall, no windows (commercial truck), etc. so the ONLY way I know I’m in danger is how they’re acting.
- mirceal 8y agoI kinda disagree with this. If you cannot stop in case the car in front slams the breaks as hard as they can you probably don’t have and appropriate following distance or you are not paying attention to the road.
- astura 8y agoYou're kidding, right? If you're unable to stop in time you are, by definition, tailgating. You're supposed to keep a safe following distance where you avoid a collision if the vehicle in front of you stops suddenly.
