The
French are world experts at tailgating.
It’s a point of pride in France, like the Eiffel Tower or eating snails.
The
French love to tailgate no matter what the circumstances. You can be driving 50 in a 60 zone and
another car will be glued to your tail.
Aha, you think, that’s not special – we do the same thing in the good ol’
US of A. But here if you speed up to 100
in that 60 zone, the same driver will remain right behind you.
And
they tailgate so closely that you can tell a lot about the other driver by
looking in your rearview mirror. What
color their eyes are. Whether or not
they flossed. If it’s time for them to
trim those unsightly nose hairs.
It’s
kind of like those self-driving cars in Minority Report, traveling inches from
each other at high speeds. Or maybe
Google has already introduced their self-driving cars in France.
In
any case, I’m waiting until tailgating is introduced as an Olympic sport. The French will dominate!
