Being tailgated by another vehicle can be a frightening experience. It can leave you feeling scared for your safety because it doesn’t allow room between cars to react to changes in traffic. As a Virginia accident lawyer, Stuart Plotnick has seen tailgating lead to too many rear-end accidents.
As a general rule, you should allow at least a one-car gap between yourself and a car in front of you in the city and a two-car gap on the interstate. When someone speeds or drives aggressively and closes that gap, they are tailgating, often coming within inches of another car’s bumper.
Accidents caused by aggressive driving are increasing at an alarming rate. If you have been a victim of one of these accidents, Stuart Plotnick can investigate your accident claim, develop your case to prove negligence, and fight to get you the full compensation you deserve.
