There are several reasons not to tailgate when driving. The driver of a large vehicle may not be able to see you in their side view mirror. Tailgating is an aggressive action and may initiate road rage. In some jurisdictions tailgating is considered a moving violation and a fine as well as penalty points will be assessed. Most rear end collisions are caused by tailgating.
Following the vehicle in front of you to close for comfort is one form of tailgating. This is a bad habit that can lead to having a rear end collision. Tailgating can also mean fixing/having a lunch from the tailgate of your vehicle.

no The person behind you should not be tailgating (even though many people still do this today). It also depends on how close you are to the front of the car. In this circumstance, you are not at fault. The tailgater is at fault. For a reminder, always keep a distance at low or high speeds. Tailgating is one of the top causes of car accidents. Stay safe out there.
