This is a run-on.

The sentence has a punctuation error. To correct it, we need to separate it into two sentences or use appropriate punctuation to join the two independent clauses.
Correction 1: "I can’t stand drivers that tailgate other cars. It is just plain dangerous to do so."
Correction 2: "I can’t stand drivers that tailgate other cars; it is just plain dangerous to do so."
In both corrections, we either use a period or a semicolon to separate the two independent clauses, which makes the sentence grammatically correct.
