Tailgaters are generally women. (more pots and pans coming)
No pots and pans from me. Women tailgate far more. It’s their lack of spatial cognizance. They just keep going faster till something slows them down - like the car in front.
I have a long but pleasant commute on rural roads. By far the most aggravating is the tailgating female on a cell phone waiting for an opportunity to pass. Happens far more frequently than men.
