Most B.C. drivers admit to tailgating occasionally, but report a range of negative reactions when other people tailgate them, a new survey indicates.

The majority (77 percent) of B.C. drivers admit to occasionally tailgating the vehicle ahead of them, while 86 percent said they feel frustrated, scared, angry, or intimidated when the roles are reversed and it happens to them, according to a new Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) survey by Ipsos.
