Personally, I find it endlessly frustrating and even terrifying to be in the passenger seat with a driver who jumps in the car and immediately goes.. Then worries about Seatbelts/Radio/AC/Mirrors/Plugging in Phone/etc etc while driving.

Not keeping proper distance to the vehicle in front or behind them

How does a driver choose how close someone follows them?

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

The nerve of that guy driving so close to the car behind them!

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I was taught to adjust my speed until the distance is safe. Most people eventually either overtake, or get the hint and back off.

Don't break check though! It can cause people to panic and swerve, causing an accident.

Brake checking the person behind them. But yeah, it's a lot less common than tailing I guess
