Well, in many cases, I think tailgaiters are looking for a cheap
alternative to cruise control. They would like to drive at 140 km/h, but
know they should restrain themselves to 110 or 120 km/h ($$), so they
stick behind someone who drives at 115 km/h.

Good drivers -- the ones that could safely drive at 140 km/h -- usually
will keep safe distances. But others won't.
