We all get in a hurry on the road at times when trying to get somewhere.
However, following the vehicle in front of you too closely is not going to get you there any quicker. In fact, it could slow you down. Tailgating is a leading cause of fender benders as well as major car accidents.
Below are suggestions for avoiding the possibility of angering the driver in front of you as well as preventing an accident.
- For every ten miles per hour you’re driving, leave ten feet of distance between you and the car in front of you.
- Avoid speeding.
- Learn how to drive safely in poor weather conditions.
- Allow more distance between your vehicle and motorcycles or big trucks.
By avoiding following too closely, you could prevent a horrific accident. Well worth it, don’t you think?
