Who are the worst "tailgaters"? Men or women?

Who cares what the gender break-down is? In the end, we have both men and women who do it.

This falls under the same as "who is the worse driver." It depends on the individual drivers.

I don't think it's gender specific. It is dangerous however. But, please don't cause a potential problem by driving well under the speed limit.

Tailgaters are created by putzes that won't get out of the way or move on the road. Men are probably more but my wife is more than me.

No one should pull right up on your bumper unless they intend to pass you at the first opportunity.
