Man, I hate tailgaters
Amen!
No doubt! I wish the chp would be more on it in the safety corridor. They could be writing tickets every 10 minutes for lights off, speeding, being on the phone and extreme tailgating. Saw 4 cars in a row today that were maybe 5 feet from each other going 68 thru corridor. If they wanna kill themselves that’s fine but really sucks for the other people affected in those accidents.
