    Completely antisocial behavior, and it’s always the ones with the gigantic SUV that think they’ve got a right to be driving recklessly just because they can afford a killing machine.

    I hate that there’s no law enforcement on it while there is on driving a bit over the speed limit on a highway, the first is definitely the more dangerous thing to do, just like the people that cut everyone off by doing reckless zigzags.

    I’ve seen people do this in ways that I would 100% no second thoughts take their license away forever and fine them a crapton if it were up to me, these people should not be given the right to drive their own vehicles if they cannot control themselves and be a normal part of society.

    Make them take the bus for life, that way maybe they will grow a social consciousness and see the need for better public transport that everyone benefits from.

      It’s illegal to tailgate in many places. I’ve seen and heard of many cases of people being ticketed or even arrested if they catch other charges on top of it like using a vehicle as weapon or dangerous/reckless driving. The really bad offenders eventually do get caught even if they are getting away with it 99% of the time. Traffic court is full of these MFers everyday
