No. In some states, there are laws regarding tailgating, and you should not get too close to another vehicle. Common decency says that you shouldn't do so regardless of the laws. You should make sure that you have enough space to safely stop if the person in front of you has to stop. When passing on a two lane road (one lane per direction), you should hang back a little and begin to accelerate as you approach the passing zone. This way, you'll already be going faster than the car you are passing, and you don't have to spend as long in the opposite direction's lane.
