Driver Support Groups

My problem is that I can't stop pressuring other drivers by tailgating.

Get out of my way!!!

Welcome to the world of Traffic Psychology!!! Thanks to this class students such as myself were able to create our own homepages and are now able to show you our wonderful reports via the world wide web. Dr. Leon James has been with the project for three semesters now and is the founder of Traffic Psychology. You can look at his homepage by clicking below. So sit back and relax as we take you for an adventure in the world of the Traffic Psychologist's cyber community. My personal topic was "Tailgating." If you want to contribute to the subject please feel free to click on contributions below.

Have you ever found yourself tailgating someone because they were driving to slow or they just cut you off? Has anyone tailgated you because you may have been driving to slow or you cut them off? Well this is what my topic is all about. We probably all have had an experience or even a story about the topic of tailgating. So please feel free to contribute any of those experiences or stories.

Using our mirrors: And no, I am not talking about the vanity mirrors. When do we rely on our mirrors the most? Probably when we are changing lanes. Our objective is to change position without getting in another driver's way or cutting him/her off. The positioning for the inside rearview mirror is fairly obvious.

Communication is the key: One ongoing objective of the National Motorist Association is the improvement of our driving environment. This includes the enhancement of motorist-to-motorist communication
