Tailgating

It will come as no surprise to the average driver on New Zealands roads, that Kiwis, do rank as some of the poorest drives in the western world.

With yet again the death toll rising, and the obvious tele-mercials, NOT getting the message across, the standard of driving in New Zealand is bad.

Tailgating, is not just a New Zealand issue, but it has become a national sport, are those nano seconds to get to the next set of traffic lights that important?

Is the close inspection of the car in front of you, tail pipe really that necessary? NO and yet every day impatient Kiwis will endanger lives and for what to get home 3 seconds earlier.

I run the gauntlet everyday, I try to leave a sensible braking distance at least 2 car lenghts, but you know whats going to happen, some ignorant so called driver, cuts you up and by the time we have travelled 3 or 4 kilometers down the road, they are still only a car or so in front of me, so what is the point?
