I drive a very small car and it drives me crazy when bumper buzzards tailgate or ride my bumper. They are endangering the lives of others by doing this!

Very true! Rear end collisions are the second highest crash type for injury, accounting for 35 percent of all crashes.
You can always practice the 3-second rule. When the car in front of you passes something, you should be able to count to 3 before you pass.
Or, keep 2 car lengths between you and the car in front of you.
Also, you should be able to see the car’s rear tires in front of you when stopped.
Stopping a vehicle involves reaction time and braking time. Normal reaction time is 2.5 seconds.
At 55 miles per hour, it takes a driver 6.6 seconds or 370 feet to stop. This is 70 feet longer than a football field.
This is even more of an issue when the weather changes, especially during the first freeze in December.
