When the gap eventually arises to pull out of the pay, the tailgater is inevitably already halfway into the gap, trying to overtake you on the wrong side. I generally try to stay out of the fast lane, and avoid confrontation on the roads. Some people get so aggressive, it is almost as if they don a suit of armour when climbing into a motor car. Rather let them speed off and go crash into somebody else, it just ain't worth the hassle! Tailgating is one of the most annoying and dangerous practises on the road.

There's one ad running currently with someone who got in an accident and suffered brain injury. Is this successful in getting people to think twice before drink driving ? I find it quite striking, that's for sure ! There have been some attempts using shock type campaigns for speed driving but is shock the way to go to make sure people understand the risks ?
