“Safe Following Distance” is our next “People Preparedness” sub-topic.
There are only advantages to maintaining a safe following distance of 4 seconds or greater to the vehicle in front of you.
Whether it’s the ability to avoid hazards sooner, the creation of more space in case the driver in front stops suddenly or the benefit to your vehicle (with less wear & tear) – these are all positives.
Keep the basics in mind and keep your distance.
