Tailgating

Another issue has presented itself that needs addressing:


Tailgating.

Look, people, tailgating is often misinterpreted.

A tailgater is not thinking "I hope this person slams on their breaks and my car crashes into them, so I can kill them, because I hate them.

No. Tailgating is not a rude gesture. It is actually a polite gesture, much like tapping someone in line who isn't paying attention and saying "It's your turn!"

When one is tailgating you, he or she (usually he) is simply saying, "Why dear sir/ma'am, I do not believe you are going the correct speed. If you hurry up, we may arrive at our destination sooner!"

See. It's just being kind. A simple reminder that they are going slower than necessary.

For those of you who feel "uncomfortable" driving at higher speeds, I suggest you ride in the "right lane."

I'm sure we've all been on the highway in the far left lane going 70 when some person going 55 decides to move over in the passing lane. The PASSING lane. The lane you PASS in. Staying in the passing lane is ASKING to get tailgated.

When there is one lane, I suggest you "fast-fearing" people just face your fear and be a man!

However, there is an improper way to tailgate which is quite rude. Tailgating someone going under the speed limit is by all means "cool" with me. But when you tailgate someone who is GOING the speed limit, you are now saying, "Hey, if you don't break the law, I'm going to kill you." This is not a fun state to be in. Much like Idaho.

So just remember. Tailgating is friendly, unless used illegally.

I'm here to SERVE the PUBLIC by ANNOUNCING the important issues we face, one duck at a time.

Thank you, and goodbye.
