Tailgating typically begins several hours before the start of a sporting event, often around 3 to 4 hours prior. In College Football, for example, fans might arrive as early as 8 a.m. for a noon game. The exact timing can vary based on the event, location, and the traditions of the fans involved. Ultimately, the goal is to create a festive atmosphere and enjoy food and drinks before the game begins.
Tailgating refers to the action of driving so close to the vehicle in front of you, that you may not be able to stop in time or avoid collision. Tailgating can result in rear-end colissions and therefore it's illegal in many jurisdictions.
Tailgating is extremely dangerous. When drivers have to stop abruptly, tailgaters are often left with little or no time to brake. Tailgating is especially dangerous in high traffic conditions when the driver in front is keeping up with the speed in that lane and cannot pull over to the left lane. The tailgater become more unreasonable, more frustrated and operates their vehicle more dangerously as time passes. The driver in front becomes more and more stressed by the car following too closely. Tailgating can lead to incidents of road rage. Tailgating is one of the most common causes of highway accidents.

Additionally, it can escalate road rage incidents, leading to aggressive behaviors and unsafe situations on the road. Overall, tailgating compromises safety for all road users.
