Everything you say is right Toddman and Ferret. There's also the question of consideration for the driver in front of you—something we complain a lot about car drivers not giving us motorcyclists when they eat and text. Being tailgated is the pits. There is nothing more irritating than looking in the mirror of your bike or car and seeing some idiot so close to you that, if you have to stop in a hurry, you know he or she will be straight into your rear end. 3 seconds behind the vehilcle in front of you is a good rule of thumb.
