...doesn't that mean they are going faster? And how is it that someone might be passing on the right, if you are keeping right except to pass? So if they are going faster and pull in front of you, then they are either anticipating exiting soon, letting a faster driver behind them pass (doesn't happen often in the U.S.), or perhaps they see a cop ahead and want to hide. In all of these situations, they will shortly be passing the car that used to be in front of you. I see no reason why this should somehow make tailgating safer. Besides, I've seen SUV's squeeze themselves in between cars with nary a foot on either end to spare. Defensive driving is the way to stay safe, which doesn't mean defending your space, but rather anticipating unsafe behavior by other drivers.
