I might have agreed with you 10 or 20 years ago, Patrick, but far and away the worst drivers who I am seeing in the last two or three years are young and middle-aged women, often simultaneously using electronic gadgets (against all common sense), who recklessly tailgate other drivers, often from just six or eight feet behind them, even and especially at highway speeds.  Strangely, given the stereotype of the typical aggressive driver, it is not nearly as often that I see young men engaging in this kind of recklessly dangerous and aggressive behavior.

Why this tailgating epidemic has utterly exploded in just the last two or three years, though, is as much a mystery to me as is the reason(s) for the aggressive cluelessness of those who engage in it.
