Following Distance / Tailgating | Highway Code

Many road traffic accidents are caused when cars are driving close together, and then one car brakes suddenly and the car behind is too close to stop in time. This type of unnecessary accident could easily be prevented if the cars kept a safe following distance between each other. This video will help you to judge how much space to leave between your car and the car in front, and what to do if the car behind you is tailgating your car.
