@lemmy_user_838586@Boozilla The US is an outlier on guns, but tailgating is common every country I’ve been to (which isn’t all that many, but 7 is a few)
There are a lot of things people do while driving that are dangerous but very common. Things like driving with the high beam, speeding, tailgating, using a phone while driving etc.
The problem is that enforcing the rules is hard. You would either need a large percentage of the population to be police officers, or to put traffic cameras on every street.
Tailgating comes to mind. It’s not that different than pointing a gun at someone, and people do it constantly.
Well here in America, people do the gun pointing thing constantly, too. We have fun here.
Good point. That hasn’t happened to me yet. But it’s in the news every day.
More than once here, and I live in a dinky ass rural “city”
