Best Answer

You may be referring to deliberate tailgating in the wake of a large vehicle done in an effort to increase gas milage. That practice is extremely dangerous. There are several reasons not to tailgate when driving. The driver of a large vehicle may not be able to see you in their side view mirror. Tailgating is an aggressive action and may initiate road rage. In some jurisdictions tailgating is considered a moving violation and a fine as well as penalty points will be assessed. Most rear end collisions are caused by tailgating.
