Don't people know how to drive in Aiken? Why does everyone tail gate?

I've been here 7 months from NY and already someone rear ended my car and totaled it. I brought a new car and the first day on the road someone ran the red light and almost hit me full center of the new car!!! What gives?

Two people driving like morons can happen anywhere, you just had the bad luck to encounter two morons in rapid succession. Especially given that I can't see a connection between tailgating and running a red light...

In my experience, what people consider "tailgating" changes a lot depending on what traffic is usually like where you live. In places like New Jersey or LA, where you have a whole lot of drivers all used to very heavy traffic, the norm is to drive close enough to the person in front of you that there isn't enough space for someone to change lanes and cut in front of you. This tends to result in very dense and efficient traffic flow (lane changing makes traffic worse, basically creates turbulence in otherwise smooth flow). However, drive like that in a rural area far from a major city, and people freak out because to them you're tailgating. And if the person used to that sort of rural driving finds themselves on a NJ highway, they're constantly being "cut off" because they keep leaving so much space in front of them. It's all perspective.
