It sounds like its working fine Joe. The tailgating warning only appears at speeds above 60 km/h when you're pretty close to the guy in front. It also seems to get worried when you get 'boxed in' at motorway speeds, e.g driving in the outside lane at motorway speeds with the median/crash barrier to your right and following the car in front at a safe distance - if a car now moves along side and in front of you on your inside, effectively blocking you in, I've noticed it will give a tailgating warning in that scenario. (i.e. it was happy with your following distance until a car moves along side on your inside, blocking your escape should the car in front slam on it's brakes)

Cheers man, that's a good explanation... yeah I think it's probably ok! I do very little motorway driving so that's probably the main reason I hadn't seen it. As long as I don't get any strange errors I'll leave well enough alone.
