I'm not sure I agree.

I can assure you that Back East, where the traffic density is much higher(1), people tailgate much the same as they do in California.

I don't agree. Having lived in Boston, Pittsburgh, and Washington, DC, I never found tailgating to be anywhere near the problem as it is out here.

I tend to attribute it to a higher incidence of auto-Darwination. Idiots who tailgate wind up punished by the weather in those cities.

It probably also has to do with commute distance. An hour commute is the absolute upper limit in Boston because any amount of weather can turn that into 2-3 hours fairly quickly.
