🚗💨 Is the person being tailgated also at fault? Surprising pitfalls of safe driving

We often see "road rage" in news and videos. Of course, it's a given that the person doing the tailgating is in the wrong.
But wait a minute. Could it be that the "person being tailgated" also has some cause or trigger for it?

🤝 Have you ever had an experience like this?

• A car driving slowly in the right lane for a long time

• Using turn signals late, or not using them at all

• Tapping the brakes for no reason

• Not letting anyone in when merging

In situations like these, have you ever felt frustrated from behind, thinking, "What is this guy doing?"
The scary thing is that even if you think you're the victim, your unconscious driving might be pressing the switch that triggers road rage in some cases.

🤝 Small considerations for each other

Even if it's impossible to completely eliminate the causes of being tailgated, you can reduce them with a little effort. A slow car in the right lane lets you pass, and you can finally overtake...!

• Yield smoothly on climbing lanes

• Create a little space when merging

• Avoid unnecessary braking or sudden acceleration

• Use the right lane for overtaking

• Don't just think of yourself as a victim; reflect on your driving

Just doing this will significantly reduce stress for the car behind you and can also eliminate the triggers for road rage.

🤝 Reflect on whether you are unconsciously pressing the switch

If you think "the person being tailgated = total victim," it might actually lead to an increase in rule-breaking and ill-mannered drivers.
Reflecting on whether you are unconsciously pressing the switch that triggers road rage is the first step toward safety.

🤝 Summary

• Tailgating is absolutely unacceptable

• However, there are cases where the person being tailgated is also at fault

• You might be unconsciously triggering someone to tailgate you without realizing it

• Let's make the road a pleasant place for everyone with consideration and good manners

In the end, safe driving is about mutual consideration, isn't it?

👉 What do you all think? Have you ever been tailgated or encountered annoying driving manners? Or, conversely, have you ever thought, "Maybe I was the one triggering it without realizing it..."?
