Tailgating

2007.09.26
Tailgating is the practice of driving on a road too closely behind another vehicle, such as less than the travel distance in two seconds or equivalently, one vehicle-length for every 5 mph of the current speed.

Tailgating over here means something different over there ...

Definitions: Tailgating has a number of different meanings, coming from the tailgate present on many vehicles such as light trucks and station wagons: *The practice of driving closely behind other vehicles on a roadway.

Sometimes used as a form of intimidation, this is considered to be an unsafe behaviour, as the trailing driver has little or no time to react if the lead driver needs to make a panic stop or other manouvre.

*In the USA - the (often celebratory) practice of eating and socializing. ...(this was a new one for me!)

*In the USA - a method of gaining unauthorized access to computer facilities by following an authorized employee through a cöntrolled door.

Anyone else with a definition?
