Exactly.....your perception of what's too close to your rear bumper may have no relation to reality. I work with a woman that complains incessantly about people tailgating her on the way home from work, but I drive the same route for the first couple miles and I don't see her being tailgated at all....perception.
Oh yeah, and some people have no clue where their rear bumper actually is.
