Express frustration with the dangerous "tailgating" driving behavior observed in Alaska, and propose stricter driving regulations such as mandatory lessons with a qualified driving instructor for young drivers to prevent them from picking up bad habits.
I'm from Europe and have never seen anything like the "tailgating" that goes on here in AK.  Folk drive 70-80 mph with barely a cars length between them and the vehicle in front.  This isn't even the minority, it's the MAJORITY.  Ashamed to say that my own husband is as guilty as the next, to the point that I hate riding in the car with him at the wheel.  His excuse?  "If you don't, people cut in front of you". Is that the reason you all do it? Really???  So what if they do?  Who cares!!  Such stupidity and recklessness for naught.  SMDH.  Oh and while I'm logged in........when the roads are wet, adjust and DRIVE SLOWER!  It really is necessary.  Long and short of it is, it should be more difficult to obtain a license here and kids should have a mandatory 10 lessons with a qualified instructor instead of picking up mom/dad's bad habits.
