Accidents Caused By Tailgating

BACK OFF For Real Traffic Highway Safety






If you’ve been reading this blog for any time then you know by now that one of the five laws for traffic highway safety is no tailgating. Specifically, if everyone on the road kept a 3-6 second following gap we could eliminate almost all traffic accidents.

So, the other day I drive up to a stop light and see a macho man riding a Harley without a helmet. On the back of his tee shirt are the words, back off. I laugh realizing how significant those words are in the battle to make our roads safe.

However, here’s the rest of the story: When the light turns green this idiot takes off right on the bumper of the car in front of him. The road is congested, no where to go and this suicide motorcyclists tailgates for miles.

Go back to our last posting. Again, in Florida 36% of all roadway fatalities in 2007 were pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists. Please don’t drive with bad driving habits, especially if you are helmetless motorcyclists.
