I like to drive, er, enthusiastically... and I enjoy the speed of a Saab. But after a three-week roadtrip I find myself irritated and scared by all the tailgaters out there on the interstates. (Interestingly, people on the back roads didn't tailgate as much). Folks, you should leave at least two seconds stopping room between you and the next car. Blink your lights or whatever if someone is not driving fast enough (and they should have the courtesy to move into a slower lane or pull over), but often on a city freeway, they are limited by the person in front of them, and so on. I-95 is not the place to enjoy 90 mph speeds(unless it's 6am on a Sunday with no one around).
When I see people tailgating dangerously I call the cops and give them the plate number. This is new, and although it's harsh, I honestly think the cops should give fewer speeding tickets and more tailgating/weaving tickets as they are the ones that cause accidents.
End of rant!
