03/04/00 6:16 PM: I chose to evaluate my tendency to
tailgate. I do know that this is very dangerous for many
reasons...it limits your visibility of the road and it does
not allow for proper braking distance. The more I think
about it, the more I realize that I may cause the person in
front of me much anxiety and anger. That's kind of what I
feel when someone does this to me. Now, when I see someone
tailgating me, I slow down and let them pass...and as they
pass, so does my anxiety. I also make a very conscious
effort to allow at least three car lengths between myself
and the car in front of me.
Reaction:
I took into account the fact that there was a direct
result of my actions on ther drivers. I also thought about
how the otherdriver might feel when I tailgated them. I am
still trying to modify much of this behavior.
