I get annoyed by people driving slowly, but tailgating does not help in any way, shape, or form. Because I can jump forward and pass them considerately, leaving ample space, when there is a chance, even from 10 car lengths back. Because of fast acceleration that is available even at speed. It's not the catching up that's a problem. The problem is being to catch up while the dynamic, temporary, window in traffic is still open. Were I to be driving a slow ICE car, that option of passing would not be available at all in many traffic windows that appear, because I wouldn't be able to close the n-car-length distance. This leads some people to tailgate, or follow more closely than they otherwise would, for various values of closely, because they are clinging to that hope of getting through a temporary window in traffic at some point. (Setting aside the other less practical reason for tailgating, simple aggression / macho signaling). Perhaps you are an exception. Thank you. :-)
