A survey carried out by the RAC School of Motoring has found that on average more than 26 percent of motorists are an accident waiting to happen as they drive too close to the vehicle in front.
In Cork recently, they found at one point on the South Ring, more than one in three cars were tailgating. A similar tailgating survey in Dublin last year showed that over a quarter of drivers were driving too close to the vehicle in front.
Tailgating is also a major cause of road rage on motorways. Brian Byrne.
