Research conducted by insurance company, AAMI, shows Queensland drivers will happily give way to allow another in but are less patient when it comes to tailgating.

Studying crashes in Queensland occurring from July 2017 to June 2018, researchers found Queenslanders were more likely to collide with a stationary object compared with the rest of Australia.

An AAMI spokesperson says the high number of nose-to-tail crashes could be linked to the tailgating habits of Queenslanders.
