TAILGATING FOR ADULTS
When a driver tailgates, or follows another vehicle too closely, it prevents them from avoiding a crash when the vehicle in front of them brakes suddenly.
​
Adult Tips:
-
Teach your teen to recognize and know the speed limit on the road they are traveling.
-
Teach your teen to maintain a consistent speed.
-
Practice a safe following distance when driving with your teen, and teach them the 3-second following distance rule.
-
When driving with your teen, talk about what they should do if they are being tailgated.
