>>Tailgating is the worst driving offense on the road.<<

Not really. Depends on the condition. I personally know TWO people who will, when particularly peaved by a blocker in the passing lane, actually tap the blocker’s rear bumper with their front bumper. No, I have not done it, but I will say this: More and more states are taking notice of drivers blocking the passing lane. Fact is, they really to spark road rage and erratic driving in others. And the police have a better understanding of human nature than a lot of people realize.

We are imperfect creatures and you piss one off at your own peril.

Tailgating is aggressive behavior.

I watch these tailgaters in the passing lane, tailgating someone 9 cars from the front. What good does that do? At best, the jerk could only hope to get the driver he is tailgating to tailgate, too.

So, now the onus for road rage is on the driver who has crossed paths with a person who can’t control him/herself? Um, yeah.

At high speeds that's attempted murder and should be met with deadly force.
