Question

Why is it good to "ignore" folks who follow to closely when driving?

Answer 1

it's better to brake check them.

Answer 2

It sure is good to "ignore" all tailgaters and those who follow to close when you are driving.  When you "ignore" drivers like these you save money on gas, and  just live your life on your own terms by driving the speed limit.  People will always follow to closely if you drive the speed limit or if you speed, so the best thing you can do is to "ignore" them.

Answer 3

Because you don't want a road rage situation. You don't know what kind of psycho might be behind you.

Answer 4

they might be a cop and give up eventually

Answer 5

Yep, road rage potential.  That said... please... you better not be in the left lane!  If so, please just move over and let them go.

OK?

Answer 6

they just wanna get past you. let them go...
