So last evening I was following a guy in his company’s pickup and trailer. He was tailgating a poor Versa so close I couldn’t see car. It was in a two lane road, at about 55mph. He had plenty of occacions to pass, he never let go. 10 minutes later the Versa turned. Then he got to an Econoline and proceeded to do the same shit, for another solid 7-8 minutes.
When we got in town, he stoped for gas, and I continued on my way. I already had his number on dial (truck and trailer was covered with hi company name and number), so...I called him.
Just told him to calm down a bit, and that tailgating like this and pissing off others makes a bad name for his company, and told him to have a nice evening. He just responsed, ‘’OK...’’

“Hi, I’m calling to give you an estimate.”
“ You have an estimate? For what?”
“The damage?”
“What damage?”
“The Damage your driver of truck #2 is going to do when he finally rear-ends the van he’s currently tailgating”

It certainly couldn’t hurt. And doing it over the phone is non-confrontational. It’s entirely possible that he didn’t even realize he was doing it.

If you were going to do something- that was the way to do it.

Good for you on taking the high road. If only all drivers were required to post their cell phone numbers on their cars...
I’m “that guy” who almost always calls in large trucks (usually semis) for terrible driving. Those people are paid professionals and need to be above aggressive driving and intimidation, to say nothing of the ones who actually cause accidents.

I don't know if it will change anything, but it was worth the try, and way better than confronting him in person. Well done.
