Keep a Safe Distance
Nearly half of motorway
drivers are risking accidents by
driving too close to the vehicle in front. A
survey found
that the M4 in Berkshire was the
worst with more than 70% of drivers guilty of tailgating (Source: RAC). Keeping
a safer distance between you and the vehicle in front increases visibility and
allows you to adapt to changes in traffic flow more easily. The minimum safe distance between you and the vehicle in front should be at least 2
seconds. This needs to be increased in adverse weather conditions.
