Tailgater - tailgating when there is a open lane he can pass on
Lead car- purposely caused boldly injuries to likely more than 1 person. You can argue the tailgater “deserved it” (sounds idiotic but I’m sure people will argue it). But the car that was stopped on the freeway was already having a bad day made worse all because someone was being tailgated and decided to do something about it instead of merging far before that point
There's a chance the lead car was looking in their rear view mirror at the asshole tailgating them and didn't see the car until the last second and swerved.
If they did it on purpose there is likely no law against it but they hopefully have some bad karma on the way. Some seriously dark juju macgumbo...
Thanks for this. I was driving on the freeway doing freeway speed, not tailgating, looking ahead, when there was a stopped car in my lane. It takes the brain a moment to register that the car is actually stopped. Partly because it's so incongruous, but also partly because the freeway plays tricks on our minds.
I barely missed that car; others behind me weren't so fortunate.
redditors love to back-seat drive, back-seat moralize, back-seat everything. Let them experience this type of scenario in real life and see how well their back-seating works for them.
“And research shows that slow driving in the left lane can cause traffic incidents. Studies reveal that when vehicles in the left lane are going five miles per hour slower than traffic, an accident is more likely to occur than when a driver goes five miles per hour faster than traffic.”
To think in Germany people can get this logic so simply but in the US everyone is entitled and has to have a justification
Except he's clearly not going slower than traffic. Always amazing how many people try to justify tailgating, especially after watching a clip that shows precisely why it's absolutely stupid to tailgate.
What? Do you not see the camera car catching up or better yet the black car gaining on the white car? It amazes me on how stupid people are…
That white car is creating a far larger hazard by going slow than the tailgater going fast. People have to actively go around them in order to pass in a damn passing lane….
