The others.

There are others who could almost be forgiven for their tailgating, however, the risks are not diminished and in some cases could be greater.

Maybe the tailgater is rushing to an emergency, perhaps with a pregnant wife on board.

Or it could be a dreamer who is driving that way because he/she has just received some life changing news.

Then there are the advanced drivers who take up an attack position prior to overtaking, but who leave less than the recommended absolute minimum one-second gap. These drivers are keen on road safety but have somehow missed the point!
