Last night, I exit the parkway on my way home. So the driver in front of me is brake-checking me and I never -backed off- as I felt that I was more than adequate distance from her. I was brake checked 4 times before we reached a stoplight. We get to a stop sign and I stop relatively close to her bumper.....but that's just how I drive in general as there are other drivers behind me and I'd rather give a extra space so another driver can make the light...so to speak.

The driver in front must have gone physco cause at the stoplight....they did not move for 45+ seconds....and I did not have enough room to maneuver around.

Maybe I am a tailgater...or is that just subjective to the driver.

When I drive the X, I tend to err to the right of my lane if possible to give the smaller sedans/coupes a chance to see how the traffic is doing 4-6 car lengths past me...
you sound like the definition of tail gater. if the person in front of you is uncomfortable with the distance between the 2 of you, why not back off a bit? what are you trying to gain by riding so close?
