===Negligence=== Tailgating can occur because of a lack of perceived risk in so doing. Thus, it is done unconsciously or negligently, very often by people who consider themselves safe drivers and generally obey some other rules of the road. Evidence shows that more experienced drivers are more likely to be involved in [[rear-end collision]]s, possibly because they overestimate their skill and become complacent about allowing sufficient distance to avoid an accident.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/roads/licence/driver-qualification-handbook-english.pdf |title=rms.nsw.gov.au |access-date=2015-01-26 |archive-date=2020-03-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301125609/https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/roads/licence/driver-qualification-handbook-english.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
