Why Tailgating on Rural Roads Scares Me More Than Wildlife

Seriously though, I get it—we’re all in a rush, maybe running late or just impatient. But every time someone tailgates me at 70mph on a country highway, it blows my mind. I always keep a big gap, especially out here where deer or even cows can pop out of nowhere. Once, a deer jumped out and I had just enough space to brake safely. If someone was riding my bumper, it could’ve been a disaster for both of us. Why risk it? Give yourself—and everyone else—room to react. Have you ever had a close call because of tailgating?
