I feel like everyone is tailgating me...

[flipside99]

I've been driving for some 20+ years now, and one of the way I could always tell when someone is really up my @ss is when you can't see their headlights behind you. It's coming up on 2 months now with my X6, and it seems like 80% of people behind me are tailgating because of the low visibility. Anyone else feel that way or am I just losing my mind.

Probably because they're all NY drivers. You guys drive like mad men!

Actually they may be farther back then you think because of the way the rear hatch is shaped. I thought this at first when sitting at a light then starting punching the pdc button to turn on the rear camera and found out they were actually farther back then i thought, it's a visual illusion.

I think you are being followed either by different government agencies or by someone like Dexter. You should always drive very aggressively and change lanes as much as possible to try to lose them. If that does not work, seek shelter in a different country immediately; it might already be too late.

Hi Flipside99
You should try driving here in Brisbane ( Australia)
Everyone tailgates it's like a national pastime.
I'm amazed at the amount of times the parking alarm sounds
when i switch the camera on when i'm in heavy traffic. The smaller window
does get a little getting used to but after a while it gets nice and cosy!
Cheers

Good to know. Thanks for the info!

Haha, yeah I feel the same flipside.. but it's only because of the lack of rear visibility
