unless you cannot help it. ie.slow moving traffic all around.

According to the Driving School video I had to watch, when I got a ticket:
There should be at least a 2 second space between you and the car in front of you. As you're driving, when the car in front of you passes a "marker" start counting 1-1000,2-1000, if you pass that same marker before you're done saying that - you are too close.
As far as the car behind you, I feel if I can't see their front tires, they're too close. (My name for tailgaters is "Butthuggers"! :-)

Less than 2 car lengths for sure, but probably less than 3 car lengths to be safe.

I guess it depends on an individual's perception. Some drivers tend to follow the car infront closely without knowing about it. To other drivers, tailgating means another vehicle is following them whenever they pickup speed or switch lanes, even when the other vehicle is like....5 cars behind them?

I believe tailgating would be less than a car length away

Tailgaiting is when you're closer than 10 feet per 10 mph that youre driving.
ex. 40 ft for 40 mph
