Question of the Day - Monday, November 24th, 2025

Today's question is from @Lacy Duckwing:

Do you tailgate and if yes, why?

I don't tailgate as much as I used to. In the past, I did it because I was always the fastest-moving vehicle and felt that people should let me pass. I still drive pretty fast, but the only time I tailgate now is when I get a little distracted and end up too close.

I don’t tailgate anymore because I don’t like others doing it to me.

 

[kattabelly]

Only on foot (I don't drive) and only if I'm especially annoyed and trying to make a point. It's easier and faster to walk around people.

 

[The Moonshiner]

No that's rude.
I brake check for tailgaters

 

[tripletfeb]

Not usually. I don't want to rear end them

 

[Lacy Duckwing]

I try not to tailgate, but there are times that I do. Usually I'm in some type of hurry, but there are times it's due to me being overly annoyed by slow drivers who are insisting on going 5 to 10 miles to even 15 miles under the speed limit, which is happening more and more.
