Careless Drivers: semi-trailer truck tailgating

One of the easiest mistakes to make on the road is tailgating. Its something we are all guilty of because its so easy to do without realizing it. Unfortunately its one of the more dangerous things to do on the road. Not only do you risk an accident, but it also causes road rage.

The driver of this semi-trailer truck was following a car by just a few a yards.
Please be very aware of the distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. Three to four seconds at least.

Drive Safely!

I agree with lenvaltach! though you never know unless you see it which some semis do come up on a car but 90% of the time I see is the car moves in and slows! nice vids and I look foward for more to come!

@rextinctione thanks bro!!!

It is possible that the car driver in front had moved in front in what was once a safe gap.

[carelessdrivers]

@LenVallach this is very true since the gap did seem to be increasing. I hadn't considered that. thanks bro!

everyone does not share your perception of reality. We all do not tailgate. When you operate any motor vehicle you have to be aware of your surroundings. Plus, it's very easy to notice your too close to the other car.
