I found this old truck at a Maine boat launch, with a boat trailer attached. The boat and the owner were presumably out on the lake fishing. It was a bit challenging to get a shot that did not include the trailer in it.
Thanks for visiting!

I have a dash camera, front and back and this sticker on the back of my car to deter tailgating, it really works ;)) btw.. spot the mistake? Your - You're they were all the same.
Nothing says summer like a tailgate party! Up your game with this BBQ Ribs Platter from What Next! Out now at the ACCESS Event for June!
Matilda is teaching her two pups how stay in the back of the truck until called.
This was our old farm truck, and when the tailgate finally broke, Bubba (errrrr, Jake really) made a new, hillbilly tailgate for the truck. It worked!

Tailgating is the act of driving on a road too close to the vehicle in front, such that the distance between the two vehicles does not guarantee that stopping to avoid collision is possible.
The safe distance for following another vehicle varies depending on various factors including vehicle speed, weather, visibility and other road conditions. Some jurisdictions may require a minimal gap of a specified distance or time interval. When following heavy vehicles or in less than ideal conditions (e.g. low light or rain), a longer distance is recommended.
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 the other rules of the road. Evidence shows that more experienced drivers are more likely to be involved in rear-end collisions, possibly because they overestimate their skill and become complacent about allowing sufficient distance to avoid an accident.
In its most uncivic form, it can be a case of road rage and/or intimidation. An example would be where the tailgating driver (the driver in the following vehicle) threatens damage to the leading vehicle and its occupants by driving aggressively — perhaps also with use of headlights and horn — to bully the leading vehicle's driver to get out of the way. The driver being tailgated might not wish to comply, especially if doing so would involve breaking the law, such as by increasing speed beyond the speed limit or changing lanes without due regard for safety. Note, however, that in some jurisdictions flashing high beams is a normal and polite method used to signal the intention to overtake. Tailgating can also be dangerous to the tailgater, especially if they are driving closely behind a large vehicle (such as a tractor-trailer, or gas tanker). If the leading vehicle decelerates suddenly (such as when encountering a traffic jam, traffic lights, avoiding pedestrians, etc.), the tailgater has a high risk of causing a rear-end collision.
A form of deliberate tailgating known as slipstreaming, "draft-assisted forced stop", or "draft-assisted forced auto stop" (D-FAS) is a technique which has been used by people known as hypermilers to achieve greater fuel economy. D-FAS involves turning off the engine and gliding in neutral while tailgating a larger vehicle, in order to take advantage of the reduced wind resistance in its immediate wake. Note that this practice is extremely dangerous: while tailgating itself is inherently risky, the danger of collision is increased with D-FAS as power for power brakes can be lost after a few applications of the brake pedal and, with older cars, the pressure that causes power steering to function can be lost as well.

I can only imagine the truck on the left was tailgating the front SUV which stopped at the end of a yellow traffic light going red. Meanwhile it appears that at the same time, the back car was switching lanes. It always amazes me when drivers on highways are in long strings of vehicles going 100 kph and leaving only one car length between them—if that. This pile up can only be the result. All that speed so close together can only result eventually of slowing you down completely with some car in the lead stopping unexpectedly.
Riding another car's bumper like a shadow with attitude. I always tell myself I'm not technically tailgating--I'm just investigating the psychology of impatience. My wife is a master of this investigation.

Maybe if the setting was different, or maybe if I didn't know EXACTLY what the circumstances are, I might have actually thought that Pancho, Charlie, and Lamont were tailgating, or sitting around the fire pit in the backyard. They were talking, laughing, and all in all in good moods.
Pancho is always very quiet, very genial The respect level, not only for me, but for everyone I see him interact with, always impresses me. I never hear him raise his voice or get into a "situation" with anyone. He knows he's the new kid in town, so he keeps a lower profile.
Manufacturer: VOLVO Personvagnar AB, Göteborg - Sweden
Type: P221-34 VD
Engine: 1780cc straight-4
Power: 70 bhp / 4.500 rpm
Speed: 135 km/h
Production time: 1962 - 1969
Production outlet: 73,196
Curb weight: 1170 kg
Special:
- Its designed by Jan Wilsgaard (inspired by 1950-style American cars such as the Chrysler New Yorker Saloon and the Chrysler 300C Hardtop Coupé) and based on the P121-Series and was primarily intended to increase exports (60% exported).
- The P221 (2-dr and 4-dr estate car) was introduced at the 1962 Stockholm Auto Show.
- The bodywork was constructed of phosphate-treated steel (to improve paint adhesion) and with heavy use of undercoating and anti-corrosive oil treatment.
- The wagon offered a lot of space, it was very solid and strong intended as a van in the week and as a family car at weekends.
- It has a four-speed manual gearbox and from 1967 a Borg-Warner BW35 three-speed automatic gearbox is available (since 1964 on the P121 models), a Zenith carburettor and rear wheel drive.
- The tailgate opens in two sections and the rear license plate, attached to the lower tailgate, could fold "up" such that when the tailgate was lowered and the vehicle in use, the license plate was still visible, like the '59 Mini ☺!).
- Safety-obsessed VOLVO introduced a breakthrough feature to the P121/220 Series: the three-point safety belts on the front seats.
- In Sweden these vehicles were simply called Amazons, despite of Kreidlers registered trademark "Amazone" title.
