I can't understand the function of "if".
Can I use "when"?

A:
>'when' implies that tailgating always causes a collision
That's close, but not entirely accurate. I think "when" implies that the vehicle in front will inevitably stop suddenly at some point.
@Takanakamura
sufficient distance to stop without causing a collision if the vehicle in front stops suddenly → もし前の車が突然止まった場合に衝突を起こさずに止まるのに充分な距離(を置かずに~)
without causing a collision which might happen if the vehicle in front stops suddenly → もし前の車が突然止まった場合に起こりうる衝突を起こさずに...
This makes less sense in my opinion, or at least it sounds redundant.

Q:
Tailgating is following closely behind the vehicle in front of one another.
Anyone knows that if someone follows us, we're pissed, it's obviously a murderer, and he won't stop until he's through with us (at least that's how it's portrayed in action movies and thrillers). But far from this prejudice was the impetus for the creation of the law prohibiting too short a distance between two cars.
It's just that there have been far too many accidents on this basis and everyone is fed up with it. Generally speaking, tailgate is defined as the back of a car, its trunk or tail ramp. Hence the second (American) meaning of tailgating - "tailgate party" - when owners of pickup trucks and minivans open the back of their car and use it for other purposes than cooking, sitting and playing.
Example:
- Holy mother, these cops are tailgaiting us! So buckle the fuck up y'all, it's gonna be one hell of a ride!
Is it written correctly? Thank you very much!
