It seems to me that tailgating by definition is following too closely to be able to react in time to what's ahead.
By your definition, the people with slower reactions who amplify traffic waves aren't tailgating. By your definition, if they were tailgating, they would've rear-ended the vehicle in front of them.
Perhaps you'd like to try again?
- perl4ever 8y agoIn the spirit of cooperation which is necessary for any discussion, I was adhering to the implied definition of "react" in your previous post, as I understood it. I don't think you're being consistent with yourself now, in saying "react in time" means "to not rear-end", nor are you rightly attributing that to my definition of tailgating. You're entitled to your opinion about a definition, but it's not worth getting overly offended about. Sometimes generalizing a definition changes what falls under it, but it becomes in a subtle way better. I think this is sort of an "is Pluto a planet" issue, only I'm on the other side than in that case.
