tailgater
Tailgating is the action of a driver driving behind another vehicle while not leaving sufficient distance to stop without causing a collision if the vehicle in front stops suddenly.The safe distance for following another vehicle varies depending on various factors including vehicle speed, weather, visibility and other road conditions. Some jurisdictions may require a minimal gap of a specified distance or time interval. When following heavy vehicles or in less than ideal conditions (e.g. low light or rain), a longer distance is recommended.

tailgater
A tailgater is typically referred to as a person who drives too closely behind another vehicle, not leaving a safe distance between themselves and the vehicle ahead. This is considered a dangerous driving practice as it reduces the reaction time to stop if needed. Alternatively, in a social context, a tailgater is someone who attends informal gatherings where meals and alcoholic beverages are served, often in the parking areas of sports stadiums, before sporting events or concerts.
