    In many cases I don’t think they are even intentionally tailgating. They just suck at driving and they’re used to following way too close at all speeds.

      Yeah sometimes I think that might be the case too.

      I guess some people are just so carefree that they don’t even pay attention to their speedometer. They just scurry down the road at whatever speed feels right in their heart, only slowing down if another car gets in their way, so carefree that the concept of keeping a safe following distance doesn’t even cross their minds.

      You’re probably right—they’re not raging—they’re just blissfully unaware of how bad their driving is.
